Operating

The Philips Hue Datura Smart Ceiling Panel offers flexible control options:

• Philips Hue App Control: Use the Philips Hue app to control both the main light and the backlight individually.

You can also group multiple lights into zones for simultaneous control.
• Voice Control: Integrate your Datura panel with smart home assistants like Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, or Google Assistant for hands-free control. Simply use voice commands to turn lights on/off, change colors, or adjust brightness.
