Your Bosch Smart Home is compatible with Philips Hue

Stylish lighting in 16 million colours: If you want smart lighting, you can turn to smart light switches, plug your lamps into smart sockets – or you can simply use the smart bulbs from Philips Hue.

Easy to integrate
Simple and intuitive from installation to operation: Thanks to the seamless integration of Bosch Smart Home and Philips Hue, the smart bulbs are ready to use in a flash.
Security for peace of mind
Lighting can do more than just look good: When integrated into your Bosch Smart Home, Philips Hue products can even protect against burglary, fire or water damage with services such as presence simulation or the alarm system.
Setting the ambience
The right light for every situation: With the stylish Philips Hue lamps, you can individually adjust the colour and brightness of your indoor and outdoor lighting to the situation, e.g. by app, switch or voice command.

Immerse yourself in the right light for every moment: Dim and select colours

From radiant to dimmed, warm white to cold white – or maybe every colour in the rainbow: With Philips Hue, you can easily create the perfect lighting atmosphere.

Choose from up to 16 million light colours and complete the scene by dimming your lamps to the desired light intensity between 0 and 100%.

Make everyday life easier with scenarios and automations

The stylish bulbs from Philips Hue are compatible with all your Bosch Smart Home devices and can therefore be integrated into automations. For example, they can light up orange to indicate that your washing machine is finished or that your alarm system is still armed.

In individual scenarios, you control multiple lamps in groups: From automatic dimming for a film night, to colourful lights for the perfect party atmosphere – with Bosch Smart Home and Philips Hue, there are no limits to what you can create.

Integrate in services for additional security

When integrated in the pre-configured Bosch Smart Home services, Philips Hue is a real all-rounder:

As part of a burglar alarm system, the lamps deter intruders by flashing red.
As part of a smoke alarm, yellow light illuminates escape routes.
When used in a presence simulation, Philips Hue protects your home from uninvited visitors.
As part of a water alarm, water-blue lights alert you of the situation.
The green light of a ventilation reminder indicates that you have insufficient ventilation.
An automatic (dimmed if necessary) motion light ensures you’re not left in the dark and protects you from accidents.

Flexible control of your Philips Hue lighting

Using a switch to turn lights on and off is a thing of the past. You can control your Philips Hue lamps – either individually or grouped into a room light – flexibly and conveniently, either from home or remotely, by app, via smart control elements such as a universal switch or the Twist, or by voice command via Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa or Siri.

The lights can be operated from both apps. The Bosch Smart Home app and the Philips Hue app synchronise when you make changes. The Bosch Smart Home app allows you to set basic control functions and integrate the lamps into automations, scenarios and services – providing everything you need for a smart home. For more advanced settings, you also have the Philips Hue app.

Integrating Philips Hue

Use the Philips Hue Bridge and the Philips Hue app to easily integrate your lamps into the Bosch Smart Home app :
First install the Philips Hue Bridge and use the Philips Hue app to integrate the desired lamps. Pro Bridge lets you control up to 50 lamps. For the Bosch Smart Home system, it does not matter which lamp is attached to which Bridge.
Once the lamps are integrated into the Philips Hue app, switch to the Bosch Smart Home app: Choose "Add" and "New device" to add your Philips Hue lamps to the system. Under "Manual" you will find the Philips Hue Bridge. You will then be guided through the easy connection process.
All Philips Hue lamps are compatible with the Bosch Smart Home system: Indoor and outdoor lights of all types and shapes, from the classic pear shape to light strips, etc.

Adjusting the light

With up to 16 million colours, you can always find the right light for your mood. The Bosch Smart Home app controls all the basic functions of Philips Hue.

In the app, you can see the status of your devices at any time and conveniently switch the lamps on and off, select your favourite colour and set the brightness.

For additional lighting functions, you can switch directly from the Bosch Smart Home app to the Philips Hue app. Thanks to the intuitive dimming and colour scale, you can choose the colour and intensity that suits you from an infinite variety of combinations.
