Help with Philips Hue

As soon as you have assigned several lamps to a room, you can control them via the so-called room light control. You can then store the automatically stored room lighting control in your Favourites using "+" and switch all the lamps in the room together with one click.

The Bosch Smart Home App lets you control the basic functions of the Philips Hue. These currently include on/off switching, color selection and brightness dimming. Special lighting functionalities will still only be selectable with the Philips Hue app. In order to be able to select these, it is possible to jump directly from the Smart Home App to the Philips Hue App at defined points.

All lamps (indoor and outdoor, bulbs, light strips, etc.) that are part of the Philips Hue system are supported by the Bosch Smart Home App. More information can be found on our Philips Hue partner site: Link. The following Hue devices cannot be integrated: Hue switches, Hue taps, Hue motion detectors etc. as well as switches, plugs, motion detectors etc. from third parties.

If a Philips component should be defective, a possible exchange is made directly by Philips. Please contact your Philips customer contact at the following link.

First install the Philips Hue Bridge and then all the lamps you want to integrate into your smart home network using the Philips Hue App. You can find this in the appropriate App Store. Then open the Bosch Smart Home App and select "Add" and "New device". Under "Manual" you will find the Philips Hue Bridge. The app will then guide you through the simple connection process.

Once you have assigned one or more lamps to a room, you can select the room lighting control under "Add Favourites" on your Favourites screen. This allows you to turn all the lamps in a room on and off.

Please ensure that you have already successfully integrated the lamp with the help of the Philips Hue app. Then add the lamp to your "My home" with "Add device", "Add new device", "Manual" and "Philips Hue lamps". Please ensure that the lamp is supplied with power. If you are unable to integrate a lamp into your Philips Hue App, please contact the Philips Hue Support. Always connect new lamps to your Hue Bridge first using your Philips Hue app. Then you can find the lamps under "Already installed devices".

Please follow these steps: 1. Make sure that the lamps are always powered. If you turn off the lamps with your light switch, you will not be able to turn them on with your app because the power supply is interrupted. 2. Check if you can still control the lamps with the Hue App. If not, connect them again. If the problem persists, please contact Philips support. 3. If you can control the lamps with the Hue app, please check that your smart home controller and the Philips Bridge are connected to the same wireless router. If necessary, delete the Philips Hue Bridge from the device list and reconnect it. If the problem persists, please contact our free customer service.
