Philips Hue Smart Hub FAQ
How does the Hue Bridge enhance my smart lighting?
The Hue Bridge is the brains of the Philips Hue smart lighting system, unlocking the full suite of smart lighting features. Adding a Hue Bridge to your Philips Hue setup lets you control up to 50 lights and 12 accessories throughout your whole home — both inside and outside. With a Hue Bridge, you can control your lights when you’re away from home, use Hue Sync, and so much more.
Where should I place the Hue Bridge?
Near your wireless router — the Hue Bridge plugs into the router with an Ethernet cable.
Can I use the Hue Bridge with all my Philips Hue products?
Yes. All Philips Hue products, even if they’re Bluetooth-enabled, connect to the Hue Bridge to create a comprehensive smart lighting system.
Will my Hue Bridge work if the internet is down?
You can still control your lights, even when the internet is down. However, you won’t be able to use away-from-home control.
I am unable to control my light when I am away from home.
Check to make sure Out of home control is enabled in the Hue app:
- Go to the Settings tab.
- Tap Hue Bridges.
- Select the Hue Bridge for which you would like to enable out of home control.
- Next to Out of home control, tap Log in to log in or create a Hue account.
Once you have enabled Out of home control, you can control your lights anywhere you have a Wi-Fi or cellular connection the same way you would as if you were at home.
If you’re having trouble controlling your lights while away from home, please double check that you are logged into your Hue account and your lights are reachable.
*You must be connected to your home Wi-Fi for the initial setup. If you are not connected to your home Wi-Fi, you will receive an error message.
