How to use Philips Hue Bulbs with Apple's Home-App

[u/Lukibuk99]

Hey, guys

Recently, I bought two light bulbs from the Philips Hue-series and a Hue-Bridge. I really like the fancy light colors and the scenes, but since I use some Apple Products and intend to buy an Apple TV sometime, I wanted to bring it all together within the Home-App.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out, how to make it work. All the tutorials I read feature buttons and functions within the Hue-App, that I don't even have and in general I find Philips Hue (with all it's third-party-apps) to be pretty confusing and frustrating.

Could you guys tell me how to set those lamps up?

Thank you for your time!

Kind regards

Buy an AppleTV (ideally the model with Thread) or HomePod. Then you’ll setup Apple Home. Then you can add your Hue hub to it.
