Amazon Alexa

Whether you use Hue Bridge or Bluetooth with your Hue lights, you can use the same method to connect your Hue lights to Alexa. Open the Philips Hue app and go to Settings > Smart Home > Get Started > Amazon Alexa and follow the on-screen instructions. Tap the Learn more button if you need more help.

No. You are only able to connect one Bridge at a time.

It depends on the way you want to connect your Philips Hue lights. If you have a Bridge, you can use any Amazon Alexa device. If you use Bluetooth, you’ll need a compatible Amazon Echo device.

Yes. Philips Hue Bluetooth-controlled lights work directly with all Amazon Echo devices except for Echo (1st Gen), Echo Dot (1st Gen), and Echo Input. Power on the light and say "Alexa, discover my devices." You can add up to five lights. For additional lights, we recommend adding a Philips Hue Bridge and connecting to Alexa via the Philips Hue skill.

You can add Philips Hue motion sensors, smart buttons, dimmer switches, and Tap dial switches to the Alexa app under Remotes or Motion Sensors. 

Your Bridge settings are automatically synced with the Amazon Alexa app every 24 hours, so it may not show up immediately. If you want to see your light right away, say, “Alexa, sync my devices.”
