As the smart lighting hub, the Bridge is the key to smart lighting like you’ve never seen before.
Frequently bought together
Automate in the app
Schedule your lights to turn on and off. Set up an automation once, and the Bridge remembers what you want your lights to do.
Voice control
Get the full range of voice control features with a Bridge. Use voice commands to turn your lights on and off with the leading smart assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, and Google Assistant.
Ultimate smart control
The Bridge makes it possible to control your lights any way you want — from anywhere with an internet connection.
Sensors, switches, and more
The Bridge brings even more customization to your accessories. Choose how your smart switches, buttons, and sensors, and the Tap dial switch control your lights.
Instant light response
The Bridge uses Zigbee to communicate with your lights and accessories. Your lights react instantly, and you’ll be able to control them even when your Wi-Fi is down.
Extend your range
Your lights create a mesh network. Each light you add acts as a repeater, so you can extend your lights throughout your home, inside and out.
Easy to install
Plug the Bridge in to power, connect it to your router, and follow the step-by-step instructions in the Philips Hue app. Changing internet providers or swapping out your router? Everything is stored on the Bridge, so you won’t have to set anything up again.
Matter
The Bridge enables Matter, the new foundation for connected things. That means that your Philips Hue lights and accessories automatically support Matter — and you can easily integrate other smart home brands through Matter, too.
