Questions about Philips Hue Play base + extension

Yes, the bridge is required.

Hi Tonio94 The product with extension is simply two Philips Hue Play bases. ATTENTION: This product requires that you have the Philips Hue Bridge without this product the Hue Play base cannot be controlled. You can use the product as a lamp but only in one colour and constant light, also you can only switch them off without the Hue Bridge by disconnecting the products from the power supply. With the Hue Bridge you can control up to 50 lamps, so it would be possible to buy four Hue Play bases and use them together as a group. Greetings John

Hoi Samui31 Reddit sagt nein: https://www.reddit.com/r/Hue/comments/aekxi1/will_new_bulbs_work_with_old_bridge/ Die neue Bridge gibts ja teilweise schon ab ca. 50.-

On the manufacturer's page https://www2.meethue.com/de-ch/p/hue-white-and-color-ambiance-play-lightbar-doppelpack/7820230P7 the following is stated: Will there be an exchange program to update my V1 bridge for a V2 Hue bridge? Currently there is no Hue bridge exchange program planned. Google translation: Will there be an exchange program to update my V1 bridge for a V2 Hue bridge? Currently there is no Hue bridge exchange program planned. Accordingly, it should not be backwards compatible.

The black ones are available but have a delivery time of about 2 months. This is because the two colours are supplied by different suppliers. Therefore, there is also a price difference, as the suppliers do not always have the same price.

The products are sourced from two different suppliers, so we cannot adjust the price at this time :( In this case, it is effectively cheaper (at the moment) to buy the products individually.

Try this: "Ok Google, sync my lamps". With "Ok Google, switch [name of room/name of lamp] to [colour]" you can change them. If you have synchronised Google Home and the Philips Hue app with the command "Ok Google, sync my lamps", you can even apply entire scenes to adjust the lighting mood in one go. You can then activate your existing scenes in the Hue app with the command "Ok Google, switch on [scene name] in [room name]".

The day after tomorrow!

If you get the components cheaper, if you buy individually, than you have to do this :-). We work with different suppliers and daily prices. Since it can sometimes happen that a bundle is more expensive

yes - unfortunately you always need a bridge for the Hue products. At another shop, the Play is currently on offer including a free bridge... and even cheaper in a set of 2 (https://www.brack.ch/philips-hue-tischleuchte-play-830301).

One of them now costs CHF 95.-, but this set also has an additional extension.

why no

The Power cable is 2 meters long, according to our supplier.

Yes, this should be possible, as they are controlled via the WLAN. Whether the power comes from 1 or 2 power supply units is irrelevant.

Yes, you can also use the Philips Hue Play base + extension (530 lm) as conventional room lighting. Here are some important points: - The lamp offers a luminosity of 530 lumens, which is sufficient for normal room lighting. - It can be set in all white tones from 2,000 to 6,500 Kelvin, which offers a wide range of lighting options. - Although the lamp is designed for special lighting experiences such as TV, music or gaming, it also functions simply as a conventional lamp without the Sync function. However, it should be noted that the lamp requires a Philips Hue Bridge to be able to use all the functions.

Hi, it depends on your preferences in terms of colour and brightness... Here's an example with my desktop screen... https://photos.app.goo.gl/13JQNwQ6bonoqNyDA

👍🏻 that is correct

Yes, you can can, but you must have a Phillips Hue Bridge, I belive version 2 or newer. You use your Apple Homkit app to connect the Phillips Hue Bridge to Home it. All lamps connected to the Hue Bridge are now automatically visible in home it. You cannot add a Phillips lamp directly to to homekit. The Phillips system is not using standard wifi.

These are "dumb" lights. You need a Hue bride to control ANY Hue light. The sync box super expensive and is only used to control a Hue LED strip to change colors and follow the picture on the TV.

You need the BASIC (currently €61.10) and then the EXTENSION (currently €50.30). Unfortunately, combining two extensions does not work. Therefore, you currently have a price advantage of €0.40, but the Combo Pack is NOT more expensive :-)

The bridge can be set up anywhere in the home and connects all the lamps to the WLAN or the control system. So yes, if you set it up in your office, you can control the lamps independently of other lighting controls.

You always need the Bridge, it is the brain of the lamp control. The question is what do you want to do with the Hue Play and whether it makes sense to buy it. If you already have Ambilight.

You can display different colours, but only one at a time. If you want a gradient, you have to use the Play Tube, for example.
