In today's video I'm looking at Philips Hue. But this is a slightly different video where I show how you set up Philips Hue from scratch. I go through what you need, and how to set it up. It's a fairly lengthy video, so I've split it into sections which cover each individual stage and you can skip to the bit that interests you.
This is the starter kit that I use : UK - amzn.to/3Dk445B / USA - amzn.to/3wMkbXa
However if you want to buy individual components they are here :
Philips Hue Hub - UK - amzn.to/3wL2A1Y / USA - amzn.to/3kCYHHm
B22 Colour Bulbs - UK - amzn.to/3cffziM / USA - amzn.to/3kCj080
Hue Dimmer Switch - UK - amzn.to/3cd78EY / USA - amzn.to/3cascf6
If you want a bit more in-depth video into other bits of the Hue ecosystem then please let me know!
Thanks for watching!

Hi from Scotland Thank you so much for doing this video, I know you uploaded it 10 months ago but it is very easy to follow. I have not long retired, done up all the house just recently, just bought a new tv and I am going to buy Phillips Hue lights to enhance the living room. Once again, thank you so much for this first class video. Kind regards Johnny

I LOVE this video...thank you! I was mid-stream changing all the dimmers and bulbs in my house trying to get the perfect kelvin and hue...and started wondering if I was making an expensive mistake. I think I might halt and change gears in favor of this ecosystem while I have not yet installed most of these expensive dimmers. Great video Kip!

Love hue equipment, but I can't help but feel that they are far too expensive. Especially as competitors are now selling the same product for a fraction of the price. new networking technologies have now come up with thread and matter and thread I have to say is far more responsive!

Finally a video for the UK market, thanks! I was just wondering, if I have a room, in which I would like to have two zones, let's say one zone for sofa, one for dining, can I get two remotes and use them as switches for a particular zone just fine? Also, does the app allow you do more funky stuff such as operating only one zone or both at the same time? Hope this makes sense and thanks again!

Lots of the downstairs lights in our house contain three bulbs (2 x 3 = 6 in living room) which would make it mega expensive. So using this system as a bit of a security thing, Can this system control table top lights that are plugged into a wall socket. Thanks.
@kiphakes
@kiphakes Год назад

@samgao
@samgao Год назад
I think a BIG missed opportunity is to use your existing local area network. Instead, Philips create their own MESH network forcing you to have a node every so many feet so that it'll reach all the lights. I guess they did this on purpose SO that you would have to purchase a ton of lights from them... I tried to put this in my network rack and immediately all signal was blocked, though I have access points throughout the home. My app can find the Bridge no issue, but since it puts out it's own wireless 2.4GHz wireless signal, it just doesn't work well unless your completely engulfed in the eco system. Hence I’m forced to use Bluetooth

Hey man, awesome video. Im not sure if i should get the philips hue or maybe just the philips sceneswitch lights. I still have alot of "old/normal" switches in my house and it's also easy to just turn the lights on using those switches because they are at every corner located. Can i still use these old switches when I get philips Hue? Or do I need to keep all the old switches "on/activated" and buy new philips hue buttons or tap dial switches? Thx in advance for helping 😅
@kiphakes
@kiphakes 10 месяцев назад
The old switches would need to be kept 'on'.. there are some devices that you can put inside existing switches to make them 'smart' - will be looking at those in future videos.. but I use philips hue switches on my walls, and have most of my 'old' switches covered up by them - I've made a few videos about doing that. :)
@michiel3g
@michiel3g 10 месяцев назад
@@kiphakes and with philips switches you mean the philips buttons or tap dial switches. Right? In my living room I sometimes have like 2 or 3 light switches on top of each other. Its pretty hard to hide those i guess i have to put the philips dial switch on top of the others? 🙉
@kiphakes
@kiphakes 10 месяцев назад
I mean these - amzn.to/3YBRjyH If you're handy, you could wire out the original switches altogether, and put a blanking plate on top.. that's another option! :)

How does the remote switch differentiate between bulbs? I want to put a bulb in three locations. Living room, dining room and bedroom for my elderly mother. Can she carry that remote from room to room and just press the on off button for the bulb/room she wants or would she have to press some other configuration of buttons depending on which bulb/room she’s in? In other words, does the bulb sense aim and or proximity to a specific bulb? Or is there some other button configuration to deal with that will flummox her?
@kiphakes
@kiphakes Год назад
I’d recommend getting a remote switch for each room really.. or look at my tap dial switch video I published recently, that has for individual buttons you can use to control different rooms
