The Philips Hue White Starter Kit in action

Philips Hue bulbs bring a whole host of smart features with them, and the Bridge is the key to those features. With this smart lighting starter kit, you can automate your lights using schedules and geofencing and control them on the go. Or switch your lights on and off using just the sound of your voice thanks to compatibility with Amazon Alexa, the Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit.

How to set up geofencing for your Philips Hue lights

One of the most convenient features of the Hue lighting system is geofencing. When you give the Hue app access to your location, your lights will turn on and off automatically based on your location. You can set up geofencing in just a few easy steps:

Create a Philips Hue account if you don't already have one, and connect the account to your Bridge.
Grant the Hue app access to your location.
Select "Arriving" or "Leaving".
Select the relevant scene or lamp, and set your home location.

This Philips Hue starter kit comes with two bulbs and the Hue Bridge. If you're looking for a point of manual control, consider adding the Philips Hue Dimmer Switch, which can be placed on the wall or used as a remote control.
