Philips Hue User Manual

Connecting the hardware

The first step in setting up your Philips Hue is connecting all of the

hardware; that means plugging in everything from the Starter Kit box.

In this section you’ll learn how to insert the lights, connect the bridge

and connect to Wi-Fi.

To insert the lights:

1. Remove the existing lights from three fixtures.

2. Using a clockwise motion, screw your Philips Hue lights into

the three open light fixtures.

3. Flip the associated light switches to the ON position.

Nothing will happen until you connect the lights to the bridge.

You can use your Philips Hue with an existing dimmer

switch, but the dimmer must remain in the full ON position.

To connect the bridge:

1. Plug the round end of the power cord into the back of

the bridge.

2. Plug the AC end of the power cord into a standard wall outlet.

Notice the three lights you inserted turn on.

Setting up Philips Hue

To connect to Wi-Fi

1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the back of

the bridge.

2. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into your router.

Now that you’ve set up the hardware, you can set up the software.

Installing the software

Your Philips Hue is operated solely through your device with the

Philips Hue app; giving you control of your lights from anywhere.

In this section you’ll learn how to download and set up the app.

To download the app:

1. Using your device, connect to the Apple App Store.

2. Tap the Search icon.

3. Type Philips Hue.

4. Scroll until you find the icon shown in Figure 1 (p. 6).
