About this deal

Create a cosy atmosphere with warm white light. A smart light that simply adapts to your daily activities There are no specific outdoor products for WiZ, so if you want to light up your garden, you’ll either have to install bulbs in outdoor fittings (and hope your Wi-Fi is good enough to work outside) or go with Hue instead. Switches and sensors

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. It’s good to see the fully automatic Vacation Mode. Turn this on, and your smart lights will turn on and off automatically, simulating the presence of someone at home. No, LIFX bulbs do not work with Hue because they are Wi-Fi bulbs whereas Hue is a Zigbee-based system. However, both brands work with Alexa, Google Home, and HomeKit which you can use to include both LIFX and Hue bulbs in your smart home. Does Nanoleaf Work With Hue? 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. 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?The final point is unique to third party bulbs because official Hue bulbs will be found automatically. 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. 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.

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? As the WiZmote connects directly to lights, it’s just as responsive to use as the Hue remotes and switches. Should your Wi-Fi go down, the WiZmote will continue to work, so you can still adjust brightness and cycle through your selected scenes. Yes, there is a range of other bulbs that will work with Philips Hue, these can be connected to the Hue bridge and will have access to most features via the Hue app.

Just to point out that only Osram Smart+ bulbs in Europe work with Hue, if you’ve imported them from the USA then they will use a different Zigbee standard (ZHA) which doesn’t work with Hue. Automate the lights to fit your daily or weekly routines. Schedule your light to turn on before you arrive home and keep it off when not needed. This project hasn't been entirely smooth sailing; the Home app and the bulbs sometimes need a minute to see each other if you turn the bulbs on and off with a light switch, and one unfortunate power outage totally disrupted communication between the bulbs and my Raspberry Pi. I might have been able to troubleshoot it with enough time, but my setup is simple enough that I just reset everything and did it all over again. But that's a risk you run with any smart home DIY project, and my house needs enough bulbs in each room that it's worth dealing with some headaches in exchange for a much lower cost per bulb.

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. Colour reproduction is similar, too, although I found that the Hue bulb was capable of putting out a much stronger red than the WiZ bulb. That generally means that any colours that use a shade of red are that bit bolder 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. I then used the Wiz app to get all of the Wiz bulbs joined to my network, which is pretty much all you need it for if you intend to use the bulbs with Homebridge. There's nothing stopping you from using HomeKit and the Wiz app separately, and the Wiz app has some neat color presets you can't really replicate with the Home app, but I mainly control the bulbs using Siri voice commands and HomeKit automations. 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.
