Create a cosy atmosphere with warm white light. A smart light that simply adapts to your daily activities
No, Nanoleaf products cannot be used with the Philips Hue bridge. The Hue bridge uses Zigbee to communicate with bulbs whereas Nanoleaf products use either Wi-Fi or the new Thread standard. Do Govee Lights Work With Hue?GLEDOPTO – This is a German-based brand so it’s not too far from our shores. They have Hue-compatible smart bulbs, however, these don’t have great colour reproduction. Where this brand does excel, is their controllers for LED lights which can help you add light strips and other built-in lights to Hue. Hopefully, they will make their products available in the UK soon. Overall, I put the Smart+ bulbs in last position because they can struggle with animations and the colour temperature only goes to 2700k whereas most others go to around 2000k. The best bulbs that work with Philips Hue available in the UK are Innr, Lidl, IKEA Trådfri, and Linkind. Below is some information about each brand. AduroSmart ERIA – This Dutch company offers some great lights that are a real contender to Philips Hue in terms of colour Cree – Cree Zigbee bulbs work with Hue, Smart Things, Wink and more. However, no vendors are selling them in the UK right now.
Osram Sylvania (formerly Lightify) Smart+ bulbs have had a bad rep in the past with many users reporting trouble connecting them to a Philips Hue bridge. However, a firmware update seems to have solved these issues so ensure you have updated them before trying to connect. Dim your lights to your desired brightness level via your smartphone, the WiZmote or your voice. No need to install an expensive dimmer.If you’re integrating with HomeKit, only official Philips Hue bulbs will work via the Hue and HomeKit integration (unless you have Homebridge). Bulbs are available in three types: dimmable, tunable white (typically a warm 2700K to cold 6500K light) and full colour (does everything the other bulbs do plus you get the full range of millions of colours to choose from. Control your WiZ lights wherever you are with smartphone. No need to worry if you've left your lights on before leaving home. WiZ app is available for iOS and Android.
In addition, WiZ also has a range of light fittings, including spotlights and ceiling lamps. The range here isn’t as good as Hue’s but there’s more choice than with other Wi-Fi brands. Testing with the WiZ A60 E27 Full Colour bulb, I compared its performance with the equivalent Hue bulb. Both bulbs put out similar brightness when used with standard colour temperatures (warm white to cold white), with a similar dimming range (cosy to intense).Mix different colour and white lights modes to create the perfect light ambience for your daily moment. Save it and call it out at any time with app, WiZmote or voice. While Hue doesn’t provide much in the way of dynamic scenes, WiZ does. With the likes of Fireplace or Ocean, your lights can shift colours gently creating a more intensive mood than a solid colour alone provides. The special bedtime and wake up scenes run over a 30 minute period, dimming or brightening the lights automatically.
No, despite both being owned by Signify, Philips Hue and Philips Wiz cannot be used together. This is because Philips Wiz is a budget Wi-Fi-based smart lighting system whereas Philips Hue is a premium Zigbee-based system. Do LIFX Bulbs Work With Hue? You need to ensure the bulbs have the latest firmware before connecting as older versions have had many problems. They are not the best Hue-compatible bulbs on the market, see Innr, Lidl, IKEA, and Linkind for alternative products. Do Hive Bulbs Work With Hue? No, Sengled smart bulbs do not work with the Hue Bridge because the bulbs use Wi-Fi and connect straight to your router. They do not require any hub or bridge. Do Philips WiZ Bulbs Work With Philips Hue? Samsung SmartThings support is available. That’s handy if you use that system for your automations, and further expands the scope of the WiZ system. Performance While the main benefit of smart lightning might be controlling it from an app or using your voice, there are times when it’s just easier to use a dedicated switch. The huge range of wireless switches for Hue, from the Hue Wall Switch Module to the Senic Friends of Hue Smart Switch, is what makes that system stand out. Most of the competition doesn’t provide remotes, but WiZ has a limited selection.If you have a WiZmote, you can pair this with a single room. Via the app, you can choose which sense the four shortcut buttons will trigger, plus the fade-in and fade-out times for the on/off buttons. The latter sets how long it takes lights to turn on or off, although I’m not particularly convinced how useful being able to adjust this setting really is. Use the preset well-being features in the WiZ app to and enjoy the lighting pattern best suited for your circadian rhythm throughout the day. WiZ will provide you bright daylight when you need to get energised and focus, and transition smoothly to soft warm white to help you relax and sleep better. No, although Hive also works using ZigBee, you cannot use Hive light bulbs with a Hue bridge or vice versa. However, you can integrate the two platforms to control your Hue bulbs through the Hive app, but you will still need to have a Hue bridge to do this. Is IKEA Tradfri Compatible With Hue? Choose from a wide range of energising cool white to soft warm white, or simply select from the preset modes such as Focus and Relax to create the best ambience for your activities.
