Which bridge do you need?
Both bridges run the same lights, the same app and the same scenes. The Pro simply holds a lot more of them, and it adds presence sensing the standard bridge can't do.
- standard Up to 50 lights
Bridge
Up to 50 lightsThe standard bridge. It runs up to 50 lights and 12 accessories, with the full app, scenes, routines and voice control. Plenty for most homes.
Selected - pro Up to 150 lights
Bridge Pro
Up to 150 lightsThe bigger bridge. It runs up to 150 lights and 50 accessories, and it adds presence sensing, so a few of your existing lights can act as a motion sensor without you buying one. A faster processor keeps a large setup responsive.

Everything you need to know
The Bridge is what most Hue features actually run on. It connects your bulbs and accessories over Zigbee, keeps control local and fast, and links the system to Matter, Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings. Plug it into your router and set it up from the Hue app.
Product features
Built for a medium setup
Connect up to 50 Hue bulbs and 12 accessories on one hub, which covers most apartments and single-storey homes. Setup runs from the Hue app in a few minutes. If you're lighting a whole house, or you want motion sensing without buying sensors, get the Bridge Pro instead.
Runs on your own network
Scenes and automations live on the Bridge and run over Zigbee, so your lights answer in under a second and keep working when the internet drops. You only need a connection for control away from home and for updates.

One bridge to every platform
The Bridge links your Hue lights to Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and SmartThings, and exposes them to Matter. Control and voice then work through whichever platform you already run, rather than through a second app.

The Philips Hue system
Hue is a system, not just a smart bulb. Every Hue product, from bulbs and lamps to light strips and fixtures, joins the same Zigbee mesh and shows up in one app. A single bulb bought today slots straight into a whole-home setup later.
The lights
Bulbs, lamps, strips & fixtures
All speak Zigbee and mesh with each other, so every light you add extends the network's reach.
The hub
One Bridge runs the whole home
Runs up to 50 lights off your router, and connects Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings.
The control
App, voice & switches
One app for rooms, scenes and schedules, plus dimmers, buttons and sensors that work without a phone.
Getting started
1
Start with one light Start here
Add your first Hue light, open the Hue app, and control up to 10 lights in one room over Bluetooth. No hub required.
2
Add the Hue Bridge When you're ready
Run up to 50 lights, control them from anywhere, set schedules and automations, and connect your voice assistant.
Start small, scale up. Everything you buy today keeps working when you add the Bridge, and everything Hue has made since 2012 still joins the same system.

Not for a couple of bulbs, as Hue lights connect over Bluetooth for basic control. You'll want the Bridge once you go past about ten lights, or as soon as you need Matter, automations, Hue Sync, or control while you're away from home.
Up to 50 Hue bulbs and 12 accessories such as switches and sensors. For larger homes running 150 or more lights, the Bridge Pro is the better fit.
Yes. The Bridge connects your Hue lights to Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and SmartThings, and exposes them to Matter. Control and voice commands then work through whichever platform you use.
It plugs into your router with the included Ethernet cable, which Philips recommends for the most reliable connection. Control stays local over Zigbee, so your lights keep responding even if the internet drops.
