Thank you for doing this. Best review on KZfaq as I'm new to these so was really unsure in regards to them, the starter kit gives you a choice between with dimmer switch or with smart button which I had no idea which was the best to get, I'm guessing dimmer is better than smart switch right however I will no doubt use my phone most of the time to control it or my Firestick, so I'm not sure it matters does it and is it easy to add dimmer switch or smart switch at any point if you want to anyway? As you can see I'm really new to these hence why I appreciate your time and review so thank you!! :)

Great video Chris thanks. I was hoping you might have some advice about extending the cable on the light bar. Philips only seem to offer a 5M black female/male cable to give you extra length but I need less than that and I have a white play bar. Is there a more generic non branded item on the market and what ?specifications do I need to be looking for

So glad I found your channel. I just finished a 2 year build on a commercial recording studio. We’re using Philips Hue E26 bulbs in the ceiling and the LED tape lights around the perimeter of the rooms. The problem is that our bulbs are all making a high pitched, constant whistling/ringing sound. The tape lights are quiet. We have NOT installed our dim switches yet, only normal generic wall switches so far. The noise gets louder as I increase brightness on the app. Darker colors barely make any noise at all. Any idea what the issue is? Thank you

can u connect the bridge in the basement and control lighting in the attic? or do they need to be in some kind of working distance?

@GreeniusGenius 2 жыл бұрын

If you place bulbs / smart plugs (etc.) inbetween, the zigbee technology meshes, and extends the range, using each bulb to link back to the bridge, if a direct connection cannot be established. Eg; if I have a bulb in my basement, I place a bulb on the floors inbetween, and this will ensure that my attic bulb gets a connection.

Does it use Google Home now? I have a LIFX light now in one room. Considering a second light now for my study. Lifx seems to have a delay to turn on and no physical remote and the app update about a year ago totally changed the UI to be worse IMO. It also takes a minute or so to connect to Google Home when you flick the switch on.
