FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Philips hue bridge what does it do and is it necessary | History Defined

The Verge

We are huge fans of the Philips Hue range at T3 and we're not afraid to shout about it. Known for their outstanding smart lighting, Philips Hue have been illuminating homes and gardens since 2012. They provide the perfect way to bring light, colour and ambiance into your space, setting the mood in the best way possible. You can also customise your smart lighting using apps, voice commands and timers. 

When it comes to controlling your Philips Hue smart lighting, there are two ways to do it:  Bluetooth and with the Hue Bridge. As there is the option of using Bluetooth, many buyers assume that they don't need to purchase the Bridge. Whilst this is technically true, adding a Hue Bridge to your set-up unlocks the full suite of smart lighting features, some of which aren’t available with a Bluetooth-controlled system.
