You can control Philips Hue lights multiple ways — that's one of the reasons they're so smart! How you control your lights depends on whether you have a Hue Bridge.

Without a Hue Bridge

Certain Philips Hue lamps and light fixtures come with a Dimmer switch, which can be used out of the box to turn on and off the lights, dim and brighten, and cycle through four preset light scenes (if purchased with a White ambiance bulb). If your lamp did not come with a Dimmer switch, you can only turn on and off the light.

With a Hue Bridge

If you pair your lights with a Hue Bridge, you can then operate all your lights within the Hue app. The Hue app offers far more functionality, allowing you to set up the Home & Away feature, create custom light scenes, and more. You can also use a smart home assistant to control your lights with your voice.

To control your lights while away from home, you’ll need to set up the Home & Away functionality:

1. Select Routines at the bottom of the app screen.
2. Select Home & Away.
3. Turn the Location aware toggle button from off to on.*

Once you have set up Home & Away, you can control your lights anywhere you have a Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G connection the same way you would as if you were at home. If you’re having trouble controlling your lights while away from home, please double check that you are logged into your Hue account and your lights are reachable.

*You must be connected to your home Wi-Fi for the initial set up. If you are not connected to your home Wi-Fi, you will receive an error message."

Your Hue light may have been physically switched off (e.g. by using a wall switch) or it is out of the operating range of the system. If you are still having issues, please contact Support.

Yes. You can choose which Bridge you would like to control in the Settings > Hue Bridges section of the Hue app. Note that you can only control one Bridge at a time.
