Home security in the Hue app
Complete home security and remote light control with the Hue app
Hue Secure comes with thoughtful software features designed to help you to feel secure, wherever you are. Here are a few of our team's top picks.
Light Alarming
Trigger lights and sirens automatically or on demand when motion is detected in the Armed State, adding an extra layer of security.
Instant Smart Alerts
Receive real-time notifications in the Hue app when your video doorbell, motion sensors, contact sensors, or cameras detect activity. Spot something unusual? Take immediate action or activate alarms to deter intrusions.
Timeline
Keep track of everything that happens in and around your home, no matter where you are.
Light Chime and Alerts
Turn your Philips Hue lights into security signals-get notified when someone rings the doorbell or when the Smoke Alarm Siren is triggered.
Arming Automation
Easily arm and disarm your security system on schedule or manage everything directly from the app.
Mimic Presence
Use your lights to create the illusion of activity at home, even when you're away.
Get even more features with a plan
Choose from a Basic or plus plan to get access to advanced features, such as video history, Activity and Package zones, and smarter alerts that notify you if your camera detects a person, animal, or vehicle.
Seamless control of lights and home security in one app
The Hue app lets you take control over every part of your smart security system from anywhere with an internet connection. With just a tap, you can arm or disarm your system, grant permissions to members of your Home — or just check to see whether you left the back door open.
Upgrade to Hue Bridge Pro — make your lights motion-aware
Make your lights smarter with Hue Bridge Pro. Turn them into motion-aware sensors that respond to movement, send notifications, and light up the moment. Plus, unlock light alarms, presence mimicking, and other light features-all from the system you already trust.
