New Bluetooth Philips Hue Lights - Setup and Demo

[@Justin_tech]

Yes, the music is loud. Yes, I should have shot it in a darker setting 😅 I’ve learned my lesson! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXO7opynd8d-gpY

I don't care about any of the things. Music, etc. You helped me immensely thank you.!!!

[@The_Moni_Method]

Hey does the Hue Bluetooth app work with Alexa? By the way, your music is too loud. It makes it hard to focus on what you are saying.

[@Justin_tech]

Yes the lights/app work with Alexa. A lot of people have been asking, so I’ll make a video on how to do it soon...sorry about the music! I know and I’m making sure future videos have better music levels. Stay tuned for more :)

[@kathysmith7089]

I need the one with Alexa too. Thank thank you. From a great grandma in Virginia ♡♡♡

[@cristianpacheco8035]

Great video other than the background music being a bit distracting :)

[@Justin_tech]

thank you! Yea I've been very aware of background music with future vids :)

[@Draxxuzownzu]

Great video, I have some questions: 1. In a dark room, just how dim can the bulb really get before the bulb completely turns off if you know what I mean, say with the white ambiance version? 2. Since you can set this up with Bluetooth, does your phone ALWAYS have to have bluetooth turned on for the bulb to function, or after you set the bulb and you have your ideal settings can you then have bluetooth off on your phone and the bulb will still turn on/off from your light switch with the settings you initially put? 3. You said it is also possible to connect the bulb to wifi, does it have to be 2.4 ghz or can you also connect the bulb to the 5 ghz network on your phone?

[@momofeightpaws]

I really wanted to watch this, but I just couldn't with the music....

[@krissita]

I switched phones and logged back in to the app but can make the bulbs to work. They won't pair again. Ugh

[@Baz1122]

Do these lights work as a sunrise “alarm”? Like can they fade in over the span of 30 mins?

Good video. Wish u had included which app to download, how toe set timer and pair with Alexa.

Why would you test lights in daylight 🙄

[@Justin_tech]

i know i know.....will do better next time!

[@lichade2008]

Quick tip. Do it in a dark setting 😉👍

[@Mike_Malloy]

Thanks for the review. The only downside with Bluetooth is that your limited to control it only when your within 30 feet of the bulb. Wifi bulbs can be controlled anywhere you have internet.

[@Justin_tech]

These bulbs are still WiFi ones. Just have the added Bluetooth ability

[@alphaandyde_man5911]

I have just set mine up with my echo so now where ever I am using the Alexa we can control it any we have internet

[@choppergirl]

I hate these things so much. They are next to impossible to set up if you are blind. I went back to using light switches. Smart stuff for the FAIL> I couldn''t get them to breathe. I also couldn't get them to cnnect to my 2.4ghz network, because I run my network with no wifi password, and the Phillips app won't let you get passed the connection screen without entering a wifi password... or leaving it blank. The Alexa app won't tell you which serial number bulb is connected already and what it's named... so trying to repair one that already has been paired once but no longer responds as a new device just shows you a list of all light bulbs and serial IDs discovered and no idea what is what. It's like, these compaies don't field test their products with real consumers. They get their millenial hot shot programmers to get them working just enough to be barely functional and then they turn it over to China to mass produce and you're left with a garbage product.

[@galacticboy2009]

If anyone is looking for the information... yes, you can input a fake email address. There is no verification at all, thankfully. Otherwise these lights would be useless for us privacy minded consumers who just want a lightbulb.

[@Digikidthevoiceofreason]

Why would you go BT over Zigbee?

[@Justin_tech]

I wouldn’t personally. It’s good for simpler smart homes with voice assistant. I suggest getting a bridge for sure

[@Justin_tech]

A bridge/zigbee allows for scene control, zones, automations...

[@Digikidthevoiceofreason]

So do these bulbs also have zigbee as well as bluetooth?

[@alexandrupruna8578]

That's exactly what I was thinking... why don't you put the name white ambiance real? 😂😂😂

[@MrAnugar]

Hello, I have a problem. I have two bulbs connected to a Hue dimmer. I got today an extra white and color ambiance bulb that comes with the hue bridge. I was able to connect the hue bridge and created a room with it on the app, and it's all good. Problem is that I cannot connect my lights linked to the dimmer to my hue bridge I guess, because the lights appear in the app, but it says "Impossible to establish the link" (translated from french so legend in english could be slightly different). Also, when I try to add the dimmer in accessories a similar thing happens. Thing is that dimmer had been active much before the hue bridge. What could I do to add my lights connected to the dimmer (and the dimmer itself) to the rest of the room in the app? Any ideas? Thanks for the video btw! :)

[@Justin_tech]

Hey there, I would reach out to Philips Hue - their customer support is great at getting back to people quickly!

[@RM-lj8bv]

Please do a video at night in the dark for coloured lights.

[@Justin_tech]

good video idea.

[@MonkayMok]

Is there any Bluetooth God, on here, who know a workaround so you can control them on a PC? If possible at all.. I know it is super easy with the phone, but is it at all possible on a computer?

Great Job Justin! Thank you very much for this video it is exactly what I was looking for. Super easy, super useful....this is the kind of video that I appreciate so much!!!

[@alphaandyde_man5911]

thank for the video but in the end to set up with my echo I have to say to it "discover" and find it I was able set up on my phone first but its all good now THANKS

[@TheNuDiabolic]

Terrible connection on these. Takes about a minute or two for bulbs to connect with app. Really annoying coming home from work every night and having to sit in the dark waiting for your lights to pair

[@ima245]

I’m going to change all my bulbs in home just to get a full Philips Hue System, but I have a question. Are the color bulbs worth? I mean, do you really use them like in differents colors or something? I ordered 4 ambience and 4 color + ambience just to try and see if I can see a worth difference but anyway I really want to know the opinion from some one who really use them maybe the first days I’ll be happy changing the colors and that but, in a real life scenario you still using and exploding the color capabilities or just use a regular set up?

[@Justin_tech]

I think its worth having the color bulbs in certain areas around the home, but not everywhere! It's cool to have a splash of color in corners or hitting the wall or in lamps. Ceiling lights I think are overkill. I use a cool canister fixture (link in video description). I think it's cool to have one or two color bulbs in each room, but majority of lights should be ideally ambience white. I like having cool light during the day (wakes you up) and warm white in the evening. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@Justin_tech]

What do you mean “responded to your phone”? If you don’t have a hue bridge it won’t work in the cloud.

[@CM-kl9qh]

Justin_tech I stand corrected. I have a Philips WiZ connected. But still I don’t have / have not configured a cloud connection. And yet from two blocks away, with Blue Tooth and WiFi turned off it still works as verified by my wife. I do have Internet access via Verizon. Thank you for the come back.

[@Justin_tech]

only part of the room. They do sell a white light that is very bright.

[@daveeff-subs846]

The Worst part about Phillips Hue Bluetooth other than their high price is the requirement of the Hue Bluetooth control app to require location services in Google! Why the hell should a bluetooth connection require location services to function where the app will not work without location? GPS signal is non-existent when hidden from LOS so why does Phillips need it to switch a light on and off? Personally I wouldn't mind so much if their "smart lighting controll app" would switch off the location and bluetooth services after closing the app...

[@chriskar2189]

Can you have rgb and white with one light bulb and also can you connect them with Siri and one more thing do you need a Philips Hue bridge to connect them in a iphone

[@Justin_tech]

You will need the bridge to connect hue lights to Siri through Homekit. Yes, colored bulbs produce white and color.

[@nigel9222]

quick question, what is the hue bridge for? do i need it for app control?

[@Justin_tech]

The hue bridge allows you to create more scenes and routines with your lights. it also allows you to create rooms and zones for your lights so you can control multiple lights at a time and create scenes. Without the bridge, if your Hue lights work with Bluetooth, you don't need it. I recommend the bridge for everyone who wants more control - the bluetooth app is pretty limited and only allows up to 10 lights I believe.
