" ... Nice way to not have to tell everyone to turn off the darn light! ... "
" ... I don’t use many hue products because I like to have normal light switch functionality as well, but when they opened this and their other accessories up to HomeKit, they started making money from me again. ... "

" ... Works with HomeKit but limited integration. ... "
" ... However, that might also be a random timing delay related to Hue software issues. ... "
" ... The real downside to this device is the Hue app. ... Their software is very rudimentary and does not give you a lot of choices. ... This might be a Homekit bug. ... Update 10-10-2017 ... "
" ... I sincerely hope that more complex scripting actions are incorporated into the software soon. ... "
" ... As nearly as I can tell, it cannot work with the Fire tablet until Philips gets around to updating the Hue app. ... Yes, I have a bridge and its software is current. ... "

" ... The only thing that needs more work is the Hue App. ... HomeKit integration should be added too! ... "

" ... Very useful to turn lights on in entryways and hallways where you normally wouldn't bother flipping the switch just to walk through. ... "
" ... It's also nice not having to remember turning the lights off all the time. ... "
" ... The lights will automatically turn on as you enter, however as you sit in your chair to do work, the lights will automatically turn off on you. ... "

" ... It's easier to flip a switch . ... "
" ... It is able to simultaneously control light function and movement sensitivity. ... For example - I have defined the light level at which the lights "are allowed" to turn on - so it can be simultaneously controlled by either ambient light level, time banding and movement trigger. ... "
