What does the Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box do?
The Hue sync box reads the video or audio signal from an HDMI device — a set-top box, gaming console or streaming stick, for example. The Hue sync box sends this signal to your Hue Bridge, which then instructs the colour-capable smart lights in your Entertainment area to react.
