What is the Philips Hue Bridge?

The Philips Hue Bridge is the brain of your smart lighting system. You connect the Bridge to your internet modem or network switch with an ethernet cable, and then pair your Hue lights and accessories. Through the Philips Hue app, you can set up routines, timers, light scenes, and automations – at home and on the go. The Bridge works via the reliable Zigbee network, ensuring your lighting responds quickly and stably.

Hue Bridge or Hue Bridge Pro: which one do you choose?

In this collection, you will find two versions. The standard Philips Hue Bridge supports up to 50 lights and 10 accessories and is ideal for most homes. The new Hue Bridge Pro is faster and more powerful thanks to the Hue Chip Pro and supports up to 150 light sources and 50 accessories. This makes the Pro the right choice for larger homes, offices, or shops, for example, in combination with track lighting and multiple smart luminaires.

The Bridge Pro also offers MotionAware™: with a minimum of three Hue lights in a room, the system detects motion without separate sensors and automatically switches on the lighting.

What can you do with the Hue Bridge?

With the Bridge, you get the most out of Philips Hue. You control your lighting from anywhere in the world via the app, set up routines that fit your daily rhythm, activate security notifications, and save light scenes for every room or moment. Connections with other smart home systems also go through the Hue Bridge.

Do you need a Hue Bridge?

For basic control of a small number of lights via Bluetooth, a Bridge is not always necessary. If you want to control more lights and use scenes, automations, out-of-home control, and connections with other systems, then a Philips Hue Bridge is indispensable.
