FAQs
I’m not an expert but my understanding is that you need the Hue bridge to control the lights. I have an iPhone and Apple Watch and use both to control my lights but that is done thru the Hue bridge.
Yes. I was able to use a 20-year-old fixture on my back porch with it. This light worked out great. I love that you can program it to turn on and off through the Hue app.
I have my nest cameras turn on my lights using the IFTTT app.
Yes, in order to control you need the hub.
If you have a built-in hub you are good.
It is dimmable.
Yes, you will need the Hue bridge, especially if you want to control your lights via your Google Assistant. Only with the Amazon Echo Plus or Echo Show 2nd gen. the Hue bridge is not required, but it will limit you in functionality, so we would always recommend to use the Hue bridge.
there is no hue indoor PAR38. This is the only Hue PAR38.
Yes. You can use the Philips Hue app to manually turn on/off the lights. I have quite a few IoT devices and have to say that the Philips Hue Bridge/app is about as reliable as they come. By the way, you can tell Siri and Alexa to turn them on as well as both works well with Hue.
The PAR38 IS 950 lumens; Color 2700 Kelvin and 13.5 Watt (90-Watt equivalent).
A bulb’s light output is measured in “lumens”. A standard Philips Hue indoor bulb generates just over 800 lumens. The Philips Hue flood bulbs output 1300 lumens which is on the high end of what an outdoor bulb should produce.
They are not, the Hue PAR38 are only available in the US, so they are only 110 V compatible.
You could, but it defeats the purpose of smart lighting, because you won’t be able to control your light when there is no motion. We’d recommend to have a look at the Hue (Outdoor) motion sensor as well, which will also give you more options configuration-wise in the Hue app.
No, I do not receive motion alerts on Alexa from this product. My lights are set to come on at dusk and go off at dawn.
