About this app

The official Philips Hue app is the most comprehensive way to organize, control, and customize your Philips Hue smart lights and accessories.

Organize your smart lights
Group your lights into Rooms or Zones — your entire downstairs floor or all the lights in the living room, for example — that mirror the physical rooms in your home.

Easily control your lights — from anywhere
Use the app to control your lights anywhere you have an internet connection.

Explore the Hue scene gallery
Created by professional lighting designers, the scenes in the scene gallery can help you set the mood for any occasion. You can even create your own scenes based on a photo or your favorite colors.

Set up bright home security
Make your home feel safer, no matter where you are. The Security Center lets you program your Secure cameras, Secure contact sensors, and indoor motion sensors to send you alerts when they detect activity. Trigger light and sound alarms, call the authorities or a trusted contact, and monitor your home in real-time.

Get the best light for any moment of the day
Let your lights change automatically throughout the day with the Natural light scene — so you feel more energized, focused, relaxed, or rested at the right times. Just set the scene to watch your lights change with the sun’s movement, transitioning from cool blue tones in the morning to warmer, relaxing hues for sunset.

Automate your lights
Make your smart lights work around your daily routine. Whether you want your lights to gently wake you up in the morning or greet you when you get home, setting up customizable automations in the Philips Hue app is effortless.

Sync your lights to TV, music, and games
Make your lights flash, dance, dim, brighten, and change color in sync with your screen or sound! With the Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box, the Philips Hue Sync for TV or desktop apps, or Spotify, you can create totally immersive experiences.

Set up voice control
Use Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant to control your smart lights with voice commands. Turn lights on and off, dim and brighten, or even change colors — completely hands-free.

Create widgets for quick control
Control your smart lights even faster by creating widgets on your home screen. Turn lights on or off, adjust brightness and temperature, or set scenes – all without even opening the app.

Been using this app and the hub for many years and it gets worse as time goes on. I have about a dozen lights in different room. The automation is lousy. Many times the lights don't turn off, don't dim or even won't turn on. I live in AZ where we don't do daylight savings and it always throws this app for a loops when time daylight savings adjusts in March & October. 2 stars for not performing the basic tasks. Unfortunately, Smarthings app is no better. 2026 and still struggling with these apps

I love the lights and app. I have 3 bulbs and there are so many wonderful color schemes to choose from. Occasionally there is an issue with the lights connecting, but a force stop and restart fixes it. There aren't any ads besides those related to the bulbs, and they don't ever interrupt the operation of the app. I've been using the app for years and haven't had any major issues that make me reconsider my choice to use Philips Hue.

Works pretty nice, has some cool features. I'm glad non-hub Bluetooth connections continue to be supported. My only complaint is the Routines menu. The button to edit a routine is super huge, but the button to activate it is tiny and it should be the opposite shouldn't it? I always misclick and open the routine edit menu when I don't mean to.
