Anyone use the Philips Hue line of house lights?
Fancied a look at these originally started with wanting a light strip on the back of the TV.
You can sync with Kodi (light colour changes to the scene in the movie), change the colours from a palate of 16m, there are many themes and scenes. All controlled via phone apps.
This can all be controlled by voice using Siri. If your iPad/iPhone is plugged into the mains no need to even touch the device.
You can't just buy the light strip and the bulbs you need to buy the Philips Bridge. New version 2.0 (square) for Siri integration.
This connects via Ethernet cable to your internet router then you can purchase the additional bulbs/lights. Be careful as its addictive and expensive!! The colour bulbs are £50 each, the have a white version that's half the price.
Started by ordering the E27 fitting started kit, this comes with 3 bulbs, the bridge, power cable and an Ethernet cable.

Then there are physical dimmers and switches (called tap) that you can get if you don't want to use an app.
I am now planning on getting a few more bulbs and some more lightstrips for above and below the units etc.
Also a Hue go on order for taking into the garden in the summer.
Few pictures of what you can do.
All can be controlled using voice, you can name different lights separately or zones. Works quite well.
Being able to walk into the room and say "Hey Siri turn lights on" is great.
Does anyone else use this? Know any other commands for Siri? The manual only lists a few. You can ask Siri to dim the bulbs 20% etc but this is also not in the manual.
