FAQs
Does music sync for Spotify work with all Hue products?
No, like with other Hue entertainment features, music sync only works with colour-capable Hue lights. You also need a (square-shaped) Hue Bridge.
What's the difference between sync with Spotify and Music Mode in the Hue Sync app?
Hue sync for Spotify analyses every song and creates a custom light script on the fly to deliver the best light experience. Music mode in the Hue sync app analyses the audio and uses our entertainment algorithm to give generic, randomised light effects.
What’s the difference between the Hue + Spotify integration and third party apps?
Third party apps often use your phone’s microphone or another type of direct input to generate light effects. Hue Sync for Spotify uses music metadata to generate a unique light experience that matches the pace, mood and type of song.
