Everything Hue, without limits.
From a single button-tap to choreographed multi-room sequences that run for hours — Hue Lights gives you precise control over every part of your system.
Premium sequences
Sophisticated multi-step animations that live on your bridge — they keep running with your phone powered off. Trigger from schedules, switches, or sunrise/sunset.
Motion sensors, smarter
Create multiple time intervals with different scenes for motion and non-motion events. Tap into the hidden temperature sensor to trigger alerts when it's too cold or hot.
Dimmer & Tap mastery
Map short-press and long-press to entirely different scenes. Suspend or resume motion sensors with a button. Drive the Hue Tap Dial Switch and Wall Switch Module.
Apple Watch ready
Activate scenes, dim groups and trigger alerts from your wrist. Watch complications launch you straight into control. Optimized for every Apple Watch face.
Sunrise & sunset
The bridge's daylight sensor triggers groups and scenes at sunrise or sunset — anywhere from −2 to +2 hours. Times shift automatically through the year for your location.
URL scheme & Shortcuts
Deep-link to any scene, group, or sequence with huelights://. Trigger by name from the iOS Shortcuts app for custom automations and voice triggers.
Bridge-resident logic
Schedules, motion rules, sequences and switch actions are stored on the bridge — they run while your iPhone is off. Easily share configuration across every device on your Wi-Fi.
Full accessibility
Extensive VoiceOver narration on every screen and widget. Dynamic Type. Localized in English, German, French, Dutch, Danish, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Atmospheres, animated in light.
Cinematic multi-track scenes that synchronize light with high-quality audio. Set a timer and fall asleep to a thunderstorm. Wake to a thousand-color sunrise. Glow with a fire.
Fire
50+ curated fire types. Mix wood, chemical and special fires with adjustable flare-up frequency and brightness.
Water
Beach soundscapes with seagulls, frogs and crickets. Slowly shifting hues, sunset-tinted nightly fades.
Thunderstorm
Lightning strikes, rain density, wind speed, bird songs — and a sleep timer to drift off into the storm.
Perfect Sunrise
Wake to thousands of precise dawn colors. Snooze, resume, and run entirely on the bridge — phone off.
