Connecting with a Philips Hue Bridge (Recommended for advanced features)

To unlock the full power of your Philips Hue system, including automations, control from anywhere in the world, and a secure, stable connection, it is recommended to add a Hue Bridge. The Bridge also enables compatibility with Matter, allowing seamless integration with other smart home devices.

• Step 1: Install your lighting. Plug in your Philips Hue Iris lamp.
• Step 2: Connect the Philips Hue Bridge. Plug the Bridge into power and connect it to your Wi-Fi router using an Ethernet cable.
• Step 3: Download the Philips Hue app. Once the Bridge is connected, open the Philips Hue app (available on App Store and Google Play) and follow the on-screen instructions to discover your Bridge and lights.
