Philips Hue Bridge

Hue system hub

The Philips Hue Bridge serves as the control hub for the entire Hue smart lighting system. All Hue bulbs, motion sensors and controllers connect to the Bridge, which controls them via the app.

The Bridge is used when you want to utilise all the features of the Hue system, such as:

• grouping lights by room

• automations and schedules

• remote control from outside the home

• smart home system integrations

Without the Bridge, Hue bulbs can be controlled via Bluetooth, but some features will be unavailable.

Connects bulbs, sensors and controllers

The Bridge uses a Zigbee connection, which is designed for smart home devices. The advantage of a Zigbee network is reliable connectivity and good range indoors.

A single Hue Bridge can connect up to 50 Hue bulbs and accessories, such as:

• Hue motion sensors

• Hue dimmers

• Hue smart plugs

• Hue luminaires

Devices can be controlled individually, in groups or on a whole-home level.

Automation and smart home connectivity

The Hue Bridge enables lighting automation. In the app, you can set up, for example:

• scheduled switching of lights on and off

• lighting for different times of day

• automatic lighting based on motion sensor

• lighting control when away from home

The Bridge also works with many smart home systems, such as Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.
