• I've never tried the white Hue bulbs which have different temperatures (I've always gone for the cheapest option). What difference does it make in real life, what are the different temperatures good for?

    What's the easy option for motion sensor lights when it's controlling a room with a load of spots (i.e. too expensive to replace them all with Hue lights).

    Are there any light switches that identify as a hue bulb? A less DIY version of this https://0xfred.wordpress.com/2017/01/04/philips-hue-simple-relay-hack/

    I have these Hue lamps... and they're nice.

    I only really use 4 settings:

    1. A bright warm light for most of the evening and the daytime
    2. A dim/dusk warm light for late evening
    3. A super dim very warm light for going to sleep and lights at night time
    4. A once in a while super-bright blueish light for doing housework when you want to view all the dust and awful stuff in really bright unsympathetic light

    The first 2 modes are 90% of my use, and those just make evenings feel so relaxed.

  • Cheers. I don't use Hue in bedrooms and the main room I use it in has bright overhead lamps so I guess that cuts out 3 and 4.

    I wonder how the temperature on your 1 and 2 compares to the standard bulbs.
