Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance LED Smart Light Bulb Starter Kit, 3 A19 Smart Bulbs & 1 Hue Hub (Works with Alexa, Apple HomeKit & Google Assistant)

Super easy to set up using the philips hue app and seamlessly integrated with Alexa and Siri (Apple Home Kit). I did notice that Alexa sometimes didn’t work with voice commands. This seemed very finicky as it would happen from time to time but not on consistent basis. I would say the exact same voice prompt and Alexa sometimes would work or not. I never did figure out why this was. Surprisingly I found using Siri was the easiest since I have my Apple Watch on most of the time and I only have a single Echo Dot 3rd generation in my living room, so it wouldn’t pick up my voice commands if I was in a different room. I did not have the volume turned all the way up on my Echo Dot so that might account for this. I noticed Alexa would respond immediately to my voice commands while Siri most times took a few seconds but nonetheless still eventually did what I wanted; just had a little lag time. One annoying issue I encountered was that Apple HomeKit added one of my zones twice, and when I synced Apple HomeKit to my Hue Hub via Philips Hue App, it showed my outside lights zone twice. It didn’t affect my lights outside; they worked just fine, it just always showed I had a double zone outside. There’s probably a way to fix this but I never bothered with it since the lights still worked fine and it didn’t affect any of my schedules I set for the lights to turn off and on. This is a great starter kit for anyone wanting to take a dive into making their home smarter. Great value for the money! I also like that each of the bulbs communicate with each other via zigbee; rather than each bulb trying to connect to the hub or your router. That gives you a lot more freedom to add bulbs throughout your house or outside without worrying whether the WiFi signal will reach or not. I plan to purchase additional Philips LED Smart light bulbs to add to my other rooms and would highly recommend! FYI, the bulbs that come in this kit are the soft white not the ambiance white (different shades of white).

Love It

Big fan of the deal you get here, the lights’ response is great, every other deal With a bridge cost so much extra for additional lights. The fact I got three lights with the bridge makes its feel like a Steal

This is so easy to use! Though thats not a feature thats important to me. I HAD to buy this because I had bought some other Hue product unbeknownst of the need of having to have the HUB. The bulbs came in handy, they look good. Terrible value for the money, as I basically ended up spending north of 300 USD on five lamps (of which I only use two, which are the two Hue bars that I had purchased the first time). Google Assistant and Home Assistant integration is a breeze. The app looks good though it doesnt have any animations or anything like that like the Govee lights. These just turn on and off, and change colors, and thats it. The Hub wont cover your entire house if your house is brick and mortar. But ZIGBEE is a mesh protocol, so the more entities you add, the more coverage youll get (but, all costs a lot of money).

I love these lights. Easy to use with the hub. I do wish they were cheaper

Hue cost me a lot in electric because of poor connectivity. Don’t plan on using this unless at home. The lights don’t follow routines and stay on with no way of turning off when you are away . Tech help worthless. Buy yourself WiFi plugs that are cheaper and better control! So upset I spent so much on the bulbs for this scam! I hate it!!!!

I have these installed over my kitchen counter and one in a floor lamp. They are so easy to use with the Alexa app and work beautifully. Great buy!

Absolutely love the way they look and all the options you have, but they are a pretty pricey.

Easy setup, easy to adjust using phone app, lots of options to play around with.

Very good.
