  • Especially awesome with some third-party apps and IFTTT
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
Coupled with some good third-party apps and things like IFTTT, these lights are fantastic (see below). Talk about a wow factor when people see how they look and what they can do. It took me a year to get over the price of the starter kit, but I'm glad I finally took the plunge when the price dropped for a day. Setup of the A19 Starter Kit was easy. Plug in the lights and the hub, install the official Hue app, press a button on the Hub, and you're pretty much done. I downloaded numerous third-party Android apps and my two favorite Android apps are called "Huerray!" and "Ambieye" because they not only allow you to create "rooms" that can each be handled separately, but they also contain a lot of features that the Philips app does not. With "Huerray!" you can create color scenes AND animations in each room. You can also set alarms, create animated moods from your scene palettes, use NFC tags to trigger colors, and even use your device's microphone to listen to music and have the lights dance to the music! It works great. "Ambieye" has some unique features, like offering hundreds of color palettes from a website called Color Lovers, so you can select a favorite palette and apply static color schemes or animated ones based on the palettes submitted by users from around the world. I also installed a Chrome extension called Lightswitch Pro (which is identical to the "Ambieye" Android app above) that allows me to do the same things as in the "Ambieye" app using a button in my Chrome web browser. "IFTTT" (If This Then That) is a powerful app and website that allows you change your lights based on triggers. The functionality is huge. You can set it up so your lights go off when your phone leaves your house and turn them back on when the phone comes back home. Or you can make it so the lights come on or off at certain times of the day automatically. You can even change the colors when the weather changes! I have mine set to change to a mellow blue theme when rain is detected in my town. I also have it set up so my lights flash when I get a new e-mail from certain people. IFTTT is a must-try when you get your Hue... and it's free! These lights are expensive but oh so addictive. It will take me a while to do every room in the house because of the cost, but I can now see myself doing it. Thanks a lot, Philips. :) ... show more

  • Really fun, cool and lots of options...not essential, however
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
Don't get me wrong, these DO cost a great deal of money but I really like them. I was absolutely 100% unsure if I would have buyers remorse right away and I think that anxiety stems from the fact I don't have a great deal of disposable income so I like to make sure I get the best bang for the buck. At first, this did not fall under that category. That being said, I saw a deal on a refurbished set for around 108 bucks so I pulled the proverbial trigger. If you can get these refurbished, I think they are an absolute great value! Here is what I found: The setup was particularly easy as it consisted of plugging in the bridge (I got the first generation kit) and then downloading the app to my phone. I also have a Wink hub but when I first looked, I did not see an option to combine them (recently I just did so maybe an update?). After I got the app on my phone, I was then able to make an account (this is required for remote access to the lights) and then search for the lights. The lights were found much quicker than the GE Link bulbs I bought previously but those were good as well. Here is a quick rundown of setup: Screw in bulbs (I have mine in a candelabra to A26 adapter as I wanted them in the living room and the fan only had the small sockets) Plug in bridge with Ethernet cable (it is not wireless) and power Download App to phone Make sure bulbs are turned on Create an account or sign in with Google (I'd recommend making an account as my IFTTT is having issues and I think its related to the Google signin) Press button on bridge Search for lights Name lights and/or group for rooms Have fun! Or if you have an Echo or FireTV, ask to search for smart devices and you will need to press the Hue bridge button again right after asking and they should all be found. From what I have found, there isn't a very easy way to change colors via Alexa but you can absolutely easily turn on, off and dim each or a group of bulbs. It is truly great if you can get them at this price point. Is it necessary? No. Are there cheaper options? Yes...not a lot cheaper though as Osram Lightify RGBW bulbs are 39.99 each and I see deals for Hue bulbs about 10 or 15 more. If they lower the price on those or a brand called "Qube" comes out of crowd funding, I would check those out. One of the last things that I will mention is that I really like how easy it is to schedule lights to turn on and off via the native app. It is a little more intuitive than Wink but Wink is still evolving (still my favorite so far, though). Overall, I would probably not like these at 200 for 3 bulbs but for 100 and some change, absolutely! Also, if you do not like them, they seem to hold their value pretty well! ... show more

  • Well designed, but expensive
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
Works as advertised and makes it easy to control any light remotely. Color possibilities seem limitless. You can use the app to set scenes/change colors, change brightness and turn the lights on and off. You can also use the Amazon Echo to control the lights with your voice (though it can't change the colors). If you need a traditional switch, then the Hue Tap works very well, but is also on the expensive side. The bulbs are not as bright as you may expect, especially when using darker colors, but that can be solved by increasing the number of bulbs used to light the room. Color changes are fun to experiment with, but probably not necessary for most people. If you don't need the colors, then you can go with the much less expensive Hue Lux bulbs. ... show more

  • BUY it if first bulbs, RUN AWAY if you have other bulbs already in the HUE world.
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
O.k. the starter kit is awesome, the bulbs are awesome and it works with Alexa like a dream. I have 5 light strips by hue and bought starter kits as they were on sale, I now have the entire house in HUE and GE bulbs. That being said, if you already have LOTS of hue bulbs and a hue hub DO NOT BUY THIS unless you are willing to hack into your current hub and MAKE them join. YOU CANNOT add these bulbs to an exhisting hub as they are HARD PROGRAMMED to only connect to this hub. CRAZY RIGHT, yeah not so much, HUE apparently does not want you to connect these to anything but what is in the kit. You cannot just remove them once you set it up, NOPE, you have to actually hack it. Check it out online if you do not believe me, it took me four hours to figure out what was going on and find the hack and then do it. If you are using this for your first setup GET THEM, if not run away unless your middle name is GEEK! ... show more
