Philips Hue and Amazon Alexa

It’s the perfect sidekick to Philips Hue smart lights, giving you hands-free voice control — just by asking Alexa.

Your lights, your command

Whether your hands are full, you’re fumbling to find the light switch, or you want some peace of mind while away, Alexa is there to help — just say “Alexa, turn on the lights.” Pairing Philips Hue with Alexa lets you light your home your way. 

Two ways to get started

Amazon Alexa goes beyond voice

Amazon Alexa creates a smart home that responds to the way you live. Wake up to soft lights and a cup of coffee. Get a gentle goodnight as the blinds close and the lights dim. Lock up the house and turn off the lights — just set up a goodnight routine with Alexa.2
