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)

The V2 hub is working VERY poorly for me. My existing bulbs could only be paired manually after multiple tries. They now regularly show as Unreachable. The new V2 hub is in the same location as my V1 hub was, yet it doesnt work nearly as well. On top of these Im very annoyed that I had to replace perfectly good functioning V1 hardware with a new hub in order to maintain 3rd party integration. It appears Philips realized they could force existing customers to buy more from them - the only logical way to get a new hub is bundled with more bulbs, since the hub alone is almost as costly as a kit. And its certainly predictable that Philips will feel like dropping support for V2 in another year or two to force customers into buying yet another kit. More e-waste, some of which might be recycled, the rest goes in a landfill. My advice, ditch Philips Hue and invest in STANDARD Z-wave/Zigbee / WiFi bulbs and accessories instead.

To soft

Absolutely love how easy these were able to be set up, and controlled by app, or voice. Alexa makes it so simple to just speak light into existence...

We have been using Phillips Hue lights in our home for 3 years now, a mixture of the Color Ambiance and just the White bulbs. We love being able to control the lighting in our entire home from our Alexas or phones. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. And, this price for the three color ambiance lights and the hub was fantastic. The bulbs are all working greats, in our kids playroom.

The white 3 pack was a great value for the price, but for a household that doesnt like warm white/soft white, these were a real let down. No where on the listing does it show the packaging or tell you which version of white these are. Theyre definitely not daylight, which is what we prefer.

After my amazon smart-plug repeatedly dropped off the wifi and forgot its own settings multiple times (always a few months apart), I decided to go with this as an alternative for programmable lights. What a huge difference! I had all three lights set up on the app within minutes, which itself is easy to use. The ability to dim the lights at any time (without a physical dimmer switch) is fantastic! There are a lot of other things I can do with the app, apparently, but I havent fully delved into all the fancy stuff yet. Overall, Im very happy!

Works like it should. Easy to setup. Would but again.

I love these lights when I first got them!

App is very slow to respond. The bridge is also connected directly yet router and still has issues connecting. Seems very glitchy.

It works as expected and other apps integrates well with it. One problem I have is that it felt a bit dim. It isn’t a big deal but it would be nice to have it a bit brighter. One cool feature I like is that you can set a timer to dim off at a certain time. Or you can set a wake up mode, so the lights can turn on gracefully while you are about to wake up. If you can connect the hub to your house without connecting it to the router, I would consider this product worth it. But as of right now, it is too expensive for what it is.
