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.

STOP AUTO-RESTARTING. I do not need the app running in the background, and any app that automatically restarts itself in the background every 8 to 12 hours is spyware. I infrequently use the app (haven't used it in at least a week, and typically use it once or twice a month to adjust outdoor lighting), and once the bridge is set up, the app is not necessary unless I want to make changes. However, I keep finding this app restarted and running in the background for no valid reason. FIX IT.

This app worked great for over a year for me..but recently within the past few weeks Idk what garbage update you guys did but it's so horrible now. It never connects right away like it used to, I have to keep turning it off and on. 1 of the lights just straight up never connects. It is just so bad pls fix Quick update: I don't know how permanent this fix is, but if you go into the settings there's a "reset app" option. Not ideal but it connected to both my lights right away afterwards.

App was good for a year. I have 4 recessed lights, and up until I updated, the app worked perfectly. Then it only connected to one light, then the app lost three of the lights altogether. Not just failing to connect, they disappeared from the app. I uninstalled the app then reinstalled. It took 2 hours to connect and could only connect to 3 lights. Five hours later, 3 connected lights failing again. But my daughter, who has an iphone is experiencing zero issues! Clearly and android issue.
