Features

With Philips Hue, you won’t just get smart features — you’ll get a smart home setup that works together seamlessly.

Controls

Hue MotionAware™

Turn your lights into motion sensors! With MotionAware™, your lights switch themselves (or any other Hue lights) on or off when they detect a presence.

This innovative feature, available exclusively with Bridge Pro, works by measuring fluctuations in the strength of the Zigbee signals the lights are already sending to each other.

MotionAware™ is easy to set up in the Hue app and the vast majority of Hue lights and devices both old and new support it.

Multiple detection areas

The Hue app will guide you to create up to 4 motion areas around your home and help you assign 3 or 4 compatible lights per area.

Compatible with Hue Secure

Get notifications and trigger alarms when intruders are detected in your motion areas (requires subscription).

Fully customizable

Choose how MotionAware™ behaves: define the detection area, calibrate sensitivity, create time slots when detection is live, and select which lights are triggered.

Adapts to your space

MotionAware™ will automatically learn over time about changes in your rooms to ensure optimal motion detection.

Automations

Schedule your lights to turn on and off — at your chosen settings — at any time.

Wake up & Go to sleep

Have your lights slowly brighten in the morning and dim before bed for a gentler wake up and more relaxing bedtime routine.

Coming home & leaving home

Have your lights turn on automatically when you near home and turn off when you leave.

Customize

Choose your combination of lights and settings to turn on and off at any time.

Timers

Count down with light! Set a timer to have your lights flash or change color after a set amount of time.

Lights

Scenes

It’s all about setting the scene — and we mean that literally. Scenes are the combination of your lights’ colors and brightness, which sets the mood (or “ambiance”) of the room.

The scene gallery

Created by lighting designers, these scenes are categorized by mood, occasion (yes, we’ve got holiday scenes!), and vibes.

Effects

Animate your lights to mimic candles, the cosmos, an underwater exploration...and much more!

All-day scenes

Running over a 24-hour period, these scenes allow your lights to transition through different settings throughout the day.

Styles

With gradient lights, you get more functionality. Choose from Linear, Mirrored, and Scattered for different lighting looks.

Hue Sync

Watch your lights dim, brighten, flash, and change color in sync with TV, movies, games, and music.

Security

Hue Secure

The only home security system that truly integrates lights, cameras, and sensors.

Explore home security systems

MultiChime

It’s the visible and audible doorbell. Set up a Hue doorbell to flash your lights, play a tone, and send you an instant notification.

AI-powered detection

Know if your camera or doorbell was triggered by a person, animal, vehicle, or package. You can even turn off alerts for certain things or get push notifications for important ones.

Security automations

Set up a Mimic presence automation as part of your security system, so that your lights turn on and off at the times you’d expect when someone is home.
