Guide to smart light accessories
Do I need a Hue Bridge?
It depends on what you want your lights to do! There are two ways to control a Philips Hue smart lighting system: Bluetooth and with the Hue Bridge. Though one is not necessarily better than the other, adding a Hue Bridge to your set-up unlocks the full suite of smart lighting features, some of which aren’t available with a Bluetooth-controlled system.
What can you do with a motion sensor?
Philips Hue motion sensors automatically turn on your smart lights when they detect movement – walking down the hallway or opening a door, for example – and turn them off again after a period of time.
What is a smart plug?
A smart plug is an accessory that sits between a power socket and a lamp or other device or appliance, making it smart and letting you control it with an app, accessory or your voice. The Philips Hue smart plug does just that to transform any normal lamp into a smart light.
What are the best smart light accessories?
It depends! Everyone's smart light setup is different — you may need a Hue Dimmer switch for the bedroom, a Tap dial switch for the living room or a smart button for the kitchen. No matter what smart light accessories you choose, they integrate with your Philips Hue system seamlessly.
What is the Hue Bridge?
Our smart lighting hub, the Hue Bridge is the brains behind your lights. It uses Zigbee – a fast, reliable way to control your lights. It also unlocks the full suite of smart lighting features, including away-from-home control and routines.
What can you do with a smart motion sensor?
Philips Hue Motion sensors turn on your lights to any settings you'd like. The Hue Motion sensor also has three timeslots so you can customise your settings based on the time of the day.
What is the difference between a contact sensor and a motion sensor?
Contact sensors attach to doors and windows to detect if it has been opened or closed. A motion sensor simply detects movement in its field of view. Both Philips Hue contact sensors and motion sensors can be used to trigger your lights.
How do you use a smart light switch?
Mount it to the wall – or use it as a remote control. Since our smart light switches are wireless, you can place them wherever you like.
