Questions & answers

What do I need to be able to sync my lights with my media?

You only need the following three things to sync your lights with TV, movies, games, or music:

• Bridge
• Hue app
• At least one color-capable Hue light (White and color ambiance)
• Hue account (free)

Depending on where and how you want to sync your lights, you may need additional apps or hardware:

For PC
• Hue Sync desktop app

For music
• Spotify app

 For TV, there are two options:
• Play HDMI sync box 4K or 8K
• Hue Sync TV app

What is the best way to set up my Entertainment area?

You can create an Entertainment area in the Hue app, which illustrates how many lights you have, where and at which height the lights are located, and how your system should use them while syncing.

For the best results, we recommend using several Philips Hue color-capable smart lights. Try Play light bars placed around your TV, a Play gradient lightstrip attached to the back of your TV, and lights such as the Go accent light or Signe floor lamp in around your seating area.
