Automate your home

Create lighting routines to support your day

Wake up &
Go to sleep

Configure your lights to help you fall asleep at night and wake up energised. Create your own personal sleep routines to automatically dim the lights in the evening or gently wake you up in the morning.

Home &
Away

Set it and forget it. With the app's location-awareness feature, your lights will automatically turn on when you arrive at your front door or turn off when you leave home.

Sunset &
Sunrise

Set your lights to follow the day's natural rhythms – lights automatically turn on at sunset and turn off at sunrise. The routine automatically adapts to the sunrise and sunset where you live.

Set
a timer

Want to tell the kids that dinner’s ready? Or need a reminder for yourself? The timer function activates your lights after a specified time by triggering a scene or simply flashing the lights.

Your life, your lighting routines

Automate your lights however you want. Start at a specific time or when the sun goes down, turn on and off or activate a scene. You can even mimic being at home by randomising the routine.

Voice-control

You talk, Hue responds.
