Rating summary
About
Requires Philips Hue Bluetooth bulbs (2019 or later). Bulbs made before 2019 are
Zigbee-only and will not connect.
Your Hue bulbs already have Bluetooth built in. Almost every other app still makes
you buy a Bridge before you can put a light switch on your Home Screen. LightMote
talks to your bulbs directly.
One purchase. No subscription, no ads, no account, no cloud.

■ BEFORE YOU BUY
• Requires Hue Bluetooth bulbs from 2019 or later
• Bluetooth reaches about 10 bulbs in one room, roughly 10 metres
• No control while you are away from home, that needs a Bridge
• Colour features need colour-capable bulbs; white bulbs still switch and dim
