- Do I need the Hue Bridge to use it?
- Yes for app control, schedules, scenes and voice assistants. Without a Bridge it works as a standard switched light.
- Does it work with Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri?
- Yes. Once paired through the Hue Bridge, all three can turn it on, dim it and change colors.
- Is it suitable for wet locations?
- It is built as an outdoor wall lantern for exterior walls. Check the fixture rating for the spot you have in mind, especially where rain hits directly.
- Can it replace an existing porch light?
- It is a hardwired wall fixture, so it mounts where a lantern already does. Expect an electrician if you are not comfortable with outdoor wiring.
- How does it compare with Hue outdoor bulbs?
- The lantern gives you a finished fixture and the same Hue color and dimming. Hue outdoor bulbs are cheaper if you already like your current fixture.
- Can I group it with indoor Hue lights?
- Yes. It appears in the same Hue app and can share scenes, schedules and automations with indoor bulbs and lamps.
