derekk164 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Hi all! Not sure if in right section, but ill give it a bash Not long finished renovations to my place, and wanted to get myself into the 'modern age' Saw the phillips hue voice/smartphone/alexa compatible colour changing lights, led strips etc. Thought about putting them in the living room, hallway and bedroom, and an led strip across the skirting boards behind the tv to light it up in the evenings. Does anyone have one on here, thoughts reviews etc? Only thing putting me off is the starter kit seems obscenely expensive at nigh on £160.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a search on Hot UK Deals for Hue to get an idea of the prices you can get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got some in the living room and had them on the landing in the last house - they went on and off automatically. I guess you'll only really get the best of them if you've also got Alexa or a Google home device. As the others have said, you'll get others that do the same thing for a lot less. I have theses https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07GQYP8ZK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They connect to an app called Smart Life which can then connect to Google or Alexa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Thompson Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I've also got some smart plugs. Really handy for switching things off at night with a Google routine or on in the morning or when you get home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
