It takes a bit of faffing to get the more interesting stuff. The interface is open so you can control them through all sorts of stuff.
The easiest way is to link them to IFTTT https://ifttt.com/hue and use some of the recipes there.
If you have a logitech universal remote and hub you can control them from your remote.
If you have an android phone you can use Tasker and Autohue to set up all sorts of notifications based on your phone.

I plugged my Hue in this week, after all this IoT chat. Not bowled over. I have to leave the two lamps turned on at the wall (which feels iffy) and then find my phone every time I want to switch them on. As well as that, mine are only white bulbs, so that's no fun. And the app doesn't let me do anything cool like flash them when I get a text message. Just 'on', 'off' and a dimmer.
