What is the range of a Hue Bridge-controlled Philips Hue set-up?
Philips Hue lights create a mesh network in order to talk to the Hue Bridge. Picture each light as a stepping-stone: at least one bulb needs to be within 10 metres (32 feet) of the Hue Bridge, the next bulb should be within 10 metres (32 feet) of the first and so on. As long as each stepping-stone is close enough to the next, you’ll be able to control the lights in and around your home.
What is the range of a Bluetooth-controlled Philips Hue set-up?
You need to be within Bluetooth range – about nine metres (30 feet) – in order to use Bluetooth-controlled Philips Hue lights.
