Philips - 915004463001 - Hue - Starter Kit - 2 LIGHTSTRIPS Hue + Connected Connection Bridge - Controllable via Smartphone (Kitchen)

Customer Review

The Starter Kit Philips Hue is very easy to install once quon decided or lay the strips and the connecting bridge. We need a long and flat surface (or perfectly cylindrical) where gluing strips lights and close dune outlet to feed each strip (logical) and dune dun + socket for the bridge Ethernet available the router which is not always obvious. I thought the bridge could connect to wireless internet via wifi but not it requires a wired connection via a large cable ethernet not necessarily aesthetic. Nayant no connection available on the router, I have connected the bridge on a CPL taken and it works perfectly.

Once the physical installation of the elements (which can be fast or complex depending on your housing / socket / Ethernet), the application is launched on his smartphone is in less than 5 minutes while working. The strips can produce a wide color spectrum and application is quite intuitive. Jai programmed for the strips that they sallument séteignent and fixed hours, which works great. I've also tested the remote control without being at home, again it works very well.

The brightness is not extraordinary, however, this is really a decorative lighting. This is enough to move around without bumping into furniture but little else. This is also a pity that dangles small adapters are not supplied to a 90 ° angle with the pieces of strips that cut lon. In the state that the surplus strip cut lon (indications are marked on the strips to show where the cut) is unusable. This is also a pity quune basic remote control is not provided for people who do not have smartphone or internet box.

And finally: the price, which is, in my opinion, still very high for the starter kit.

This is a very good product, entertaining and geek but pricey.
