The features of smart bulbs and RGB illuminating are really pretty cool. Let’s check out what Philips can do.
Once you’ve installed the bulbs, you can use their app, your Google Home, or your Amazon Echo to control your lighting in any way you like. You can also program different areas with different lighting profiles. For example, you can set your living room to turn on only certain ambient lights if you’re watching movies.
You’ve also got full RGB color profiles on the app, so you can select different themes such as relaxing. You could also say, “Alexa alter the lights to purple,” and get ready for a house party! You can actually get it to go through a shade rotation, so basically you can have a rave in your own living room. Who wouldn’t want that? Whether you’re playing games or you’re watching movies, having a range of hue illuminating could really make a difference to the ambience.
Where to start:
Philips Hue starter pack is your best bet. You get three RGB bulbs and the Philips Hue Bridge. Now the Bridge is crucial because that’s what connects all the bulbs together. You plug it into the wall and then connect it to your router – then you can use the app to find all the smart tech you’ve installed.
As you go, you can invest in some more bulbs or maybe a light airstrip for ambient lighting. Maybe one of the Philips Hue Go bulbs which are battery-powered or you can plug them in and even wirelessly turn on and off. They are likewise able to simply move daylights on individually and you can use the Philips Hue app, Amazon AlexA, Apple, or the Google Home app. You can even integrate any number of the third-party apps that work together with it, so you can really tinker with it, customize it, and make it exactly the format you want.
If you’re not averse to flicking a switch you could even get the Hue button lighting where you could use their tap substitution or even their motion detector accessories.
