The Philips Hue Bridge is the central smart-home hub for a Philips Hue lighting system. It connects compatible Hue lights and accessories through a dedicated Zigbee network and links to your home router by Ethernet, unlocking whole-home control, automations, remote access, Hue Sync and supported smart-home integrations.
Is this the right one for me?
