In this video I will be unboxing and transferring my current Hue Lighting system from the 1.0 bridge to the HomeKit enabled Hue Bridge 2.0. I will go over the setup and transfer process of the Hue Bridge 2.0.

like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, kzfaq.infoUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

Hi, I have a couple of questions; firstly, can you control the hue lights within homekit or only via Siri? Secondly, when you opened the box and looked at the power supply, you were looking for the US adaptor - does it come with US & UK adaptors or just the one for the country you bought it in?

Got the V1, is the V2 a bit quicker. The new Philips App has made my hue system slow sometime to respond. Wondering if the v2 work quicker?

Terrific for those who already have the system. What about us shmucks who don't know how a hue lighting system works? You may be surprised at the fact we do actually exist. I was just given one of these units and I haven't a clue what else I need to use it.

i just bot one for $3, hoping it was a like a bridge repeater. It does not appear to be. It works, lights, gets an IP address and webpage, but nothing on it but infor. No xTrol. The PS works on other stuff. Maybe if I get a $1 bulb, I will buy it. Or eBay it for $20

When I brought the lights I honestly assumed all I would have to do is down load the app and I’m good. WRONG!!! When I was at Best Buy no one said anything about the sync box I guess they assumed I had one. Got the sync box just to find out I need the bridge. Hella annoyed at this point but hoping it’s going to be worth it when the bridge arrives tomorrow. Don’t be like me.. hue bridge/sync box/lights in that order = /

@propfella
@propfella 3 жыл бұрын
Not unless your local electricity company supplies 220volts to you home. If you're only 110 you can buy a transformer to raise the voltage to 220/240V Reasonablt inexpensive for something only needing 600Mah. I'd recommend a 1 amp unit. Ask for more info at your local electronics store.

One is for the bridge being powered, the second is for it being connected to the network, and the third is for if the bridge is connected to to the internet. Is the bridge being prevented from connecting to the cloud via a Firewall, or something of the sort?
