Philips Hue Smart Plug review

The Philips Hue Smart Plug makes the most sense if you already own Hue lights. It turns any lamp, including one that cannot take a Hue bulb, into a Hue light, so it follows your Hue scenes, switches and schedules. Out of the box it works over Bluetooth for instant control in the Hue app; add a Hue Bridge and you get voice control with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Home, Matter through the bridge, and Zigbee repeating for other Hue devices. Philips lists that it works without Wi-Fi, carries a 2-year warranty and has a defined support period of at least 60 months. For a beginner starting from scratch, the cost adds up: the plug was $39.99 on the Hue US store when checked, more than three times the SwitchBot, and the most useful features need the separate bridge. No energy monitoring is listed. We compared documented features and published prices.
