## Description

Philips Hue Bridge 2.0 (Works with Alexa), White. Smart Home Lighting System : desertcart.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

Review: Excellent. Buy it. - Excellent . Been using for more than 5yrs. Excellent. Best. Reliable. Great
Review: Great piece of kit, easy to set up, and discreet. - I bought this along with two of the bulbs separately to use with desertcart Echo... and boy am I glad I did. It's just so cool to be able to remotely control your lights, and is surprisingly more useful than you would think. The installation process was easy: Plug in the equipment, turn it all on, download the app, press a big button on the bridge. If you have desertcart Echo you just install that skill and discover the devices, that was it. Like I mentioned in my desertcart Echo review my son is a light sleeper and refuses to turn his bedroom light off. With this I can either leave the light on and slowly decrease how strong the light is or i can ask Alexa to turn the lights of later when I am sure he is asleep. My stairs are particularly creeky so if i walk upstairs to do this he wakes up easily. It can also be used to keep your home safe whilst you are away at work or on holiday. You can set the lights to come on at a particular time so it looks like you are home when it is dark, or away. This to me is a winner. The lights themselves are as bright as any other 60W bulb on the market, but are slightly longer that normal bulbs so factor this in if you have enclosed light fittings and check your measurements. They are also insanely expensive for some of the bulbs (between £15 to £25 and upwards depending on the bulb) but are they worth it, to me yes they are... especially if you have desertcart Echo as it really expands the experience. I'm not rich but love my tech and got some parts of the kit as a gift from family and can appreciate the cost on these (but they do last 25000 hours + which is a plus). On a side note you do not need to buy a starter kit to get the bridge to work if you are a first time user, you can start off by just buying this and then buying the bulbs separately if that's cheaper for you. I have read elsewhere people saying you need a starter kit and that this is just for upgrading from the V1 bridge, that is incorrect information On the whole with the price taken in to consideration I would still recommend this.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Bit confused, does the hub generate its own wireless network like the sonos music system or does it rely on the wireless range of my pc network?**
A: Yes it uses its own wireless mesh network using the protocol called Zigbee Light Link. Like Sonos net it creates a mesh between the lights to connect to each other and the hub. Unlike Sonos there is not an option to utilise your own Wifi instead of the Zigbee protocol. With a mesh system by putting a light inbetween you can keep extending the distance from the hub. Finally the hub just connects to the Ethernet socket on your router.

**Q: Will this work if I plug an Ethernet cable into the Bridge from a Powerline adapter? My wireless signal is too poor to reach my bedroom.**
A: Hello Yes no problem that’s what I have done 

Thanks

**Q: Do i need this to be able to get my amqzon eco to tern on and off the lights**
A: To answer your question , No, but if you have more than 10 bulbs and want to set 'moods' and control away from home , set timers and change colour and ambiance then yes. I have 5 bulbs , two in lounge group, lamp and main light, one hallway lamp, and bedroom has lamp and light. if you are ok with just wanting to ask alexa to turn off or on and dim lights then you dont need this bridge

**Q: Does this work with google home**
A: It can work with Google home

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Philips Hue Bridge v2 and colour Striplight v4
*by M***S on 20 January 2021*

Have purchased my first Hue light a 2m colour striplight (v4) snd a Hue bridge (v2). This was for my 10 yr old daughter's bedroom and she is very happy and excited. Pros and technicalities: Ovetall Very easy, simple and convenient setup. Easy to integrate with Alexa. Great product from Philips Hue. 5 stars You Must have downloaded P Hue app (Android, iOS) before installation. 1. Plug Hue bridge into power source 2. Attach bridge with rj45 cable to your network or router. 3. Open app on phone. It automatically detects Bridge, then updates it. 4. Beware it takes quite some time to update! (approximately 15 min) 5. Attach striplight to power 6. Search for Hue lights in app. 7. App detects striplight (very easy, first time, no lag, smooth) 8. Once integrated, it can be named whatever you like. Jojo, rattle, bindi, we settled for Griffin! App now updates Striplight (expect another 15 min to complete it). 9. App integrates with Amazon Echo Alexa seamlessly and works smooth with voice commands. 10. You can name the Room and lights in that room, so I guess you can add as many rooms (as you can spend) and lights in each room. (Total 50 with each Bridge as per manual). 11. You can set scenes and ask alexa eg: 'turn savana sunset in room 1', Perfect 12. You can set routines, timings when light to come and go with sunset and sunrise etc etc Cons and ideas for improvements: 1. Slightly less user friendly for complex settings ie setting routines and grouping lights in each room and then the whole house. It could be improved by adding icons instead of too much prose, (like somfy TaHoma app) 2. Voice commands for Echo: It wouldn't work if you say 'Set Savanna sunset Scene in Room1', instead you have to be Specific and say 'Turn Savanna sunset in room 1'. 3. Setting routines could be simplified: one example is you want lights control to be activated at night time commwncing with sunset and switch off with sunrise. This could be more user friendly in the Hue app as current a bit complex set up. Finally the price of the Hue lights is ridiculously HIGH, you pay a premium, (though no doubt Hue lights are amazing!). Probably it is due to lack of competition but in modern era soon expect other competitors with at par quality of lights and app to get into the ring... can Amazon start making its own colorful lights?!
