Alternatives to Philips Hue
You may already be familiar with Philips Hue lamps and switches, which can help you control the lighting in your home. These lamps can easily be controlled through an app on a phone or tablet, allowing you to divide them into different rooms and control the lighting independently of your location.
Although Philips Hue is undoubtedly among the most popular, it is not the only type of these "smart" products.
If you are looking for alternatives, whether they are cheaper or simply offer different or similar functionality, the products on this page can serve as good alternatives to Philips equipment.
It is important to note that there may be certain technical differences. While the overall durability of the bulbs/lamps is generally good, there may be variations in the number of hours they are tested to be on - for example, Philips Hue White has a nominal lifespan of 25,000 hours. It is recommended that you check the specifications of each product before purchasing to ensure they meet your requirements.
Light Control
Adding light effects and light control with Philips Hue typically occurs through the scheduling function in the app on a mobile or tablet, which is also the case with most alternatives. They often also support one or more of the following standards: Apple Homekit, Amazon Alexa, or Google Home.
This opens up a world of smart possibilities, such as voice control of the lamps in your house, where you can ask Siri or Google to turn on, off, or dim the lights. This is especially convenient if you don't have your phone at hand or if you're in the kitchen with your hands full.
At first glance, this may not seem like a big deal, but once you have installed these smart lamps in your home, you will quickly find them to be an indispensable luxury that you simply must have in the twenty-first century. In a humorous way, we can say: "The Space Age is over. The Smart Age has begun!"
Smart Wireless Power Outlets
It's not just lamps that we can remotely control - with the help of a so-called smart power outlet, we can control virtually any electronic device. The only requirement is that it needs to be connected to a wireless power outlet. Philips has their own outlets, but there are also many good alternatives available.
Like the lamps, the wireless power outlets can be controlled through an app on your phone. However, it is also possible to connect them to a so-called smart hub. These hubs can, for example, serve as an alternative to Philips' smart tap outlet and can be set up around the house as needed.
Both lamps and outlets typically rely on Wi-Fi, but it is not necessary for the router to be connected to the internet.
Connected via a Wi-Fi Router
Although the products rely on Wi-Fi, it is not necessary for the router to be connected to the internet. Therefore, it is advantageous to have an extra router dedicated solely to intelligent lighting setup.
If the Wi-Fi connection goes down, you can still turn the lights on and off using the smart outlets, as they are not dependent on a local area network (LAN).
All devices connected to a router are part of a so-called LAN, similar to how devices connected to the internet are part of a WAN. This may be a bit technical for some, but it can be important to have a basic understanding to achieve optimal setup of your equipment.
For example, it can be advantageous to keep your intelligent lighting setup separate from the internet router and have it connected to a dedicated router of its own.
However, it depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to be able to remotely control your devices while on the go, it is easiest to connect them directly to the internet router.
With a good router, you should be able to avoid conflicts on the local network, which can be quite common if you have many wireless devices in the house.
Intelligent Lighting Control
With Philips Hue, you can also set up so-called "intelligent light control," which automatically turns on the lights when you are in a room. There are also alternatives that offer the same intelligent lighting control.
If you are not familiar with intelligent lighting setup, it is important to note that it is most suitable for bathrooms and other rooms where you do not sit still for extended periods of time.
If you sit still for a long time and the lights have a short timer, the lights will automatically turn off, which can be quite disruptive - especially if you are reading a book or using a computer or tablet.
For example, you can use alternatives with Apple Homekit or one of the other standards that allow for easy voice control of your house's lamps. Simply say, "Hey Siri, turn on the lights." Homekit will then turn on the lights without you needing to get up from your armchair or sofa.
Conclusion
If we can reach a conclusion, it would be something along the lines of: Of course, you should try the alternatives to Philips Hue. It may require a longer run, but at least you can sit still in your armchair when you return from the run.
On this page, we will continuously highlight alternatives. We do not claim that they are necessarily better, but they often offer the same functionality, and sometimes even at a lower price.
You can click on the individual products shown on this page to view their technical specifications. We are also happy to provide guidance via email if you have any doubts.

These may not always be the exact devices we have on this page, but it is always a good idea to watch these reviews if you are not 100% sure about what you are buying.
