@@SpaceStrike I got good deals, 75€ the starter set, some bulbs for 10-15€, the button for free with an alexa. Just the GU10 were a bit more expensive, paid 180 for 6 bulbs. I tried alternatives and the colors are nowhere so nice as on original
Fun (annoying) fact: When Hue was first available associating a color scene with photos was required. There were some workarounds, but it's come a long way. Nice to this as a "feature" now.
Yes the dimmer is better. But I got the button for free so it’s good haha. I use it instead of the switch in my living room when I enter the room. Its quicker than talking to alexa or going in my phone.
@@KShedTech I know you're trying to be funny and all but it's not funny and it has a purpose even if you can't understand it because you are too narrow minded. But I bought lots of bulbs and switches and already found my answer and yes it can be part of multiple zones. The purpose is to make distinct zones light up differently. The scenes can achieve almost the same but are too slow and don't answer in a timely fashion when there are too many bulbs. My zones aren't movable, as an easy example think of a room with 24 bulbs I want to light only the odd lights sometimes, other times all the lights, while others I just want 3 turned on. The multiple zones for the same bulbs work like a charm. It also helps for Google Home routines making them much easier.
@@KShedTech Lol any philips hue issues are first world problems I guess 😀 The room is the living room and they are GU10 spotlights in a false ceiling. It really doesn't feel like a lot because they are low lumen spotlights and it's really not a mansion, it's just a different configuration of lights. As for Alexa I know it's tons better managing that but it doesn't work in my native language and it's boring to always have to speak in English so I went with Google Home. I had to setup everything within the Hue App and call each bulb in each zone like 'Zone A 1' then 'Zone A 2' and tell google home to turn the Zone A on/off. After multiple tries and multiple configurations this is the only way I managed to setup it the way I wanted to.
I switching my whole house to the Philips Wiz bulbs. They have most of the same features as the Hue bulbs but are only $13.00 per colored 60 watt bulb.
I can’t find the settings either and I think it’s because I have an outdated/unsupported early version of the Hue lights. Sadly that doesn’t bode well for future support. I’d hate to spend thousands of dollars on these lights all over my house only for Hue to stop supporting them a few years later…
Does the dimmer switch can control different bulbs within the same room ? for example, press 1 turn everything on, second press will change color of 2 of the bulbs only ?
We have one Hue Tap, it's not working anymore... but when it worked, my wife could not press the switch... it needs a lot a lot of force. (hammer) Besides, if you hold the button too long, it resets and cannot use it anymore. BIG SHIT problem for Philips (Ono, it't not Philips... they just mis-use their reputation)
For me I think it will be annoying in the long term to grab the phone to control the lights every time. And what do you guys do when friends and family come over, they can't control the light the way that you can
And the majority of all users will play with that stuff once and then just use the bulbs like regular lights, with a switch. Very expensive lights at that.
Nope I love my Philips Hue. Got them running via sync on my computer so they synchronise with whatever is on my computer screen - be it movie or game Lights turn themselves on when I get home Lights also flash when I get a supercjat on my channel So much more than just turning a light on or off :)
Nope also. Full of features, so many things you can do with them and connect practically any Smart Home device too. I naturally use many of the features without evening thinking about it. But still rely on them. it’s a home infrastructure, most take home lighting for granted and loose out so much of the benefits IOT lighting brings to a home. You say expensive but devide across the years you have them for and electricity you save, they are a cost effective system that pays for itself over time. Yes there are cheaper alternatives, but LIFX and Hue, Yeelite are the most compatible with things like Smart Things, IFTTT etc.. possibly unaware of half what I’m talking about but worth looking into, if this video bought you here and were quick to make the rash decision. I would at least like to think those like me, who invest into this should not do it half hearted.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I finally have my Phillips Hue lights setup finished.
Great product!!! Would buy again.

Super, love the last app!
Is it possible to set the first scene on the dimmer switch to the time-based light that the button defaults to?
Learned some things about my hue bulbs, thanks 👀👍🏻
Bro u bad for using hue, unless your mad rich. There are so many better cheaper alternatives

@@lorep7412 LIFX, Sengled. And a little color doesn’t matter. Come on. Sengleds looks really good
I have the Bluetooth bulb xan i choose colors?
I have two Hue Lights. Unfortunately my other led lights do not work in terms of ‘Dance Sensation’ :(

The last one for party lovers
How do I set a scene to a timer?
You can program 5 scenes to the dimmer remote...
I press the dimmer 5x before it works, the dimmers without battery don't work at all.
Is it possible to change the image or ur colors that u chose and made a sence or something like that
Yess it is
Does the power loss recovery work with the bluetooth bulbs
Yes it does :)
Isn’t the dimmer just a better version of the button? I don’t see the point of a button switch but maybe I’m missing the point
Yes the dimmer is better. But I got the button for free so it’s good haha. I use it instead of the switch in my living room when I enter the room. Its quicker than talking to alexa or going in my phone.
@@lorep7412 so doesnt that mean you just replaced your original light switch with a ... light switch ?
Does the Motionsensor also has a temperature sensor implemented?
Yes
@@atelierb.7195 really? What for?

what i found shocking is the bluetooth philips version turning off and on according to my automations even when my phone's bluetooth was off!
@@verveblack buy the hue bridge
Could you please explain how exactly override default colour?
Have you even looked at the app? When you click on Settings, there’s a big option that says “Power-on behavior.”

@@niravniel561 lifx 19 mini, sengled rgb, and even these geeni bulbs o have work almost as good as hue minis a few features

No, too less light. Now slowly changing to EGLO, half price, 4x more light, much flatter
Quality won't be up to the mark as compared to Philips hue.
@@dhrruvparmar3796 at least I have now enough light. 5700 Lumen for 1 lamp in the living room is better than 4 synology lights which claim 250 lm x 4.

I knew all of these things
Good for you
For me I think it will be annoying in the long term to grab the phone to control the lights every time. And what do you guys do when friends and family come over, they can't control the light the way that you can
Just have a google or alexa device and you can literally voice it out to them to control the lights.. I don't use my phone after initial setup
the most unrealistic part about this review is to act that people buy more then 3-5 of those
