You can even create your own scenes based on a photo or your favorite colors. \n\nSet up bright home security \nMake your home feel safer, no matter where you are. The Security Center lets you program your Secure cameras, Secure contact sensors, and indoor motion sensors to send you alerts when they detect activity. Trigger light and sound alarms, call the authorities or a trusted contact, and monitor your home in real-time.\n\nGet the best light for any moment of the day\nLet your lights change automatically throughout the day with the Natural light scene — so you feel more energized, focused, relaxed, or rested at the right times. Just set the scene to watch your lights change with the sun’s movement, transitioning from cool blue tones in the morning to warmer, relaxing hues for sunset. \n\nAutomate your lights\nMake your smart lights work around your daily routine. Whether you want your lights to gently wake you up in the morning or greet you when you get home, setting up customizable automations in the Philips Hue app is effortless. \n\nSync your lights to TV, music, and games\nMake your lights flash, dance, dim, brighten, and change color in sync with your screen or sound! With the Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box, the Philips Hue Sync for TV or desktop apps, or Spotify, you can create totally immersive experiences.\n\nSet up voice control\nUse Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant to control your smart lights with voice commands. Turn lights on and off, dim and brighten, or even change colors — completely hands-free.\n\nUse Siri Shortcuts for quick control\nUse the Shortcuts app to create shortcuts that you can place into widgets on your Home Screen for even faster control of your lights. Turn lights on or off, adjust their brightness and temperature, or set scenes — all without even opening the app.\n\nLearn more about the official Philips Hue app: www.philips-hue.com/app. \nRead the Philips Hue Privacy Notice at www.philips-hue.com/privacy.\n\nNote: Some features in this app require a Philips Hue Bridge.","facts":{"developer_id":979064009,"developer_url":"https://www.philips-hue.com","first_released":"2016-04-28T09:36:39Z","support_url":"https://www.philips-hue.com/support","privacy_url":"https://www.philips-hue.com/privacy","website_url":"https://www.philips-hue.com/","app_version":"6.3.1","release_notes":"Added the ability to trigger a scene when motion stops being detected by a motion sensor, camera, doorbell, MotionAware area, or sensor group.
