Rebuilt from the ground up, the all-new Philips Hue app has been designed as a foundation for the future of smart lighting. This is the new Philips Hue experience.
The new Philips Hue app
New design, new experience
Featuring a more intuitive interface that reflects the way you want to use your smart lights, the new app offers faster performance and a sleeker feel.

Improved performance

Organise Rooms and Zones
Grouping your lights into Rooms and Zones lets you control lights as you need them. Separate upstairs bedrooms into Rooms, then create a Zone to control the entire floor.
More intuitive than ever
The simplified user interface creates a seamless experience, letting you set scenes, dim and brighten, and toggle lights on and off from the same screen.
Switch between Hue Bridges
Have more than one Hue Bridge? No problem! You can easily switch between them by tapping the Hue Bridge icon in the Home tab.
Hue scene gallery: personal, professional lighting
The Hue scene gallery gives you easy access to the full library of light scenes. Browse popular scenes such as Arctic aurora and Savanna sunset, as well as other favourites, including Emerald isle and Ocean dawn.
Crafted by lighting experts
Each light scene in the Hue scene gallery has been specially created by lighting designers. Bring professional lighting into your own home – all with the Hue app.
One screen, all scenes
Access every light scene from the Hue scene gallery in a single screen, and set them in any Room or Zone with a single tap.
Create your own scene
Personalise your lighting using your own pictures or custom colours and brightness – and then save these scenes to use at any time.
Personalise with automations
The new Automations tab replaces Routines, offering more flexibility in customising the way you use your lights. With a design that displays all your automations at once, you get a better overview of your smart home.
Create a personal routine
Set your lights to turn on and off at custom times or at sunrise and sunset: dim them at dinnertime and brighten them when you brush your teeth.
Sleep and wake naturally
Dim the lights as you drift off to sleep, and awaken to gently brightening light instead of a jarring alarm clock – just set a Wake up or Go to sleep automation.
Home and away
With multi-user geofencing, you can trigger Coming home and Leaving home automations with multiple people. Someone home? The app knows to keep the lights on.
Design your Entertainment area
In a pseudo-3D space, you can customise your Entertainment area by changing the location and height of the lights in the room – and watch them light up in real life.
Works with Philips Hue
The Hue app integrates seamlessly with popular smart home platforms, letting you use your favourite smart devices together.
HomeKit
Set up your lights in the Hue app and have them automatically sync with HomeKit for easier integration and control.
Shortcuts
Control your lights from your iPhone’s Home Screen with a widget, which houses smart lighting shortcuts created in the Shortcuts app.
Android widgets
Use widgets to get instant control of your lights from the home screen of your Android phone. It’s the fastest way to set your favourite scene!
