Questions & Answers

No. The integration requires a Hue Bridge and at least one colour-capable Philips Hue smart light.
What's the difference between Philips Hue + Spotify and the Music mode of the Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box?
Philips Hue + Spotify analyses the metadata from any Spotify song and creates a custom light script based on the genre and beat of the music. Music mode is a setting for the Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box, which connects to your TV.
