Philips Hue White Smart Light Bulb

Philips Hue White Smart Light Bulb

You can buy a smart plug for less all over the internet and then you can control any on/off device with your phone… Solve the problem at the root, not the end user.

Can it dim with Alexa without the hub? What functions don’t work without the hub?

I think if I go to bed now that this will still be active when I wake up tomorrow…

Pretty much nothing. You need a hub to update it, dim it, connect it to services, etc.

When they’re sold with the dimmer switches, they’re paired with that, but that’s it. You need a hub or starter kit first.

Outside of that, it functions as a normal bulb. On is on, off is off. But one of the greatest things is when it turns on or off through apps/smart-stuff, it dims on and off making a nice effect.

I thought Echo was updated to use zigby without the hub?

Quick google search shows Zigbee built into Echo Plus and Echo Show.

You would be wrong. :stuck_out_tongue:

I did get in a short nap. :sleeping:

Yeah, that can work, if it’s the Echo PLUS. The big one.

If you bought the bulb and don’t have the hub well here ya go.
