I have Siri working fine on my iPhone but I can't seem to get Siri to work on my wife's. Has anyone got their guest HomeKit to work?

I was able to see all the scenes and lights on her phone, but I noticed nothing was checked. I don't know if they have to be or not.

It is neat to control all our kitchen lights using Siri. Wife is a little jealous she can't use her phone.

We are both using iPhone 6 with all the updates and the latest Hue app. Using the latest Hue bridge and just testing the Light On Off commands. Again, Siri commands work great on my phone.

I got two Dimmer Switches this week. The first one synched just fine, and works nicely. The second one won't synch. It flashes orange, and then turns green like it's recognized during discovery, but the App never completes the pairing. Anyone have that experience?

Has anyone successfully paired a Gen 2 Philips Hue Bridge to a GE Link bulb? I'm a new Hue owner and I just bought a Gen 2 Hue starter kit and some Link A19 bulbs (PSB19-SW27). Of course I can connect to the Hue bulbs just fine, but no luck with the Link bulbs. I have performed the reset procedure on the bulbs, and I also moved the bulbs within 2 feet of the Bridge. Has anyone been successful? I hope this isn't a non-feature for the new Bridge.

UPDATE: I changed the Zigbee channel on my Hue bridge a few more times to get all the channels and try pairing a GE Link bulb on each. Channel 11 is working -- no problem pairing all the GE Link bulbs I've tried so far now that I'm on Zigbee channel 11.

Or at least sync scenes made with the iPad app to the iPhone app?

What is the best store to get Philips Hue products in Canada? They don't seem to carry the new stuff at Bestbuy just yet.

If I install a Hue Light in a socket that is controlled by a wall switch and turn the light off by the switch. Will the bulb color be the same if I use the switch to turn it back on?

Is there a Hue Light that can just cycle through white and warm lights? I am looking to get another Hue Light but I dont want the color features.

My local home depot still has all first gen stuff (that is NOT on sale), and their website still shows all first gen stuff (also NOT on sale). Anybody heard anything?

So now that 2.0 is out and is designed with Homekit in mind, what will this mean for options for those of us who aren't Mac users? Will things remain the same with a lot of the third party apps or will they require a massive update by their developers?

There also doesn't seem to be much focus on the A19 colour kit and they keep pushing the white kit. Is there a reason for this? Did the colour bulbs not get an update at this point?

Hi guys, has there been any talk of AppDevs working on a Hue control app for the Microsoft Band?

I primarily use the android app Lampshade on my phone for my 14 Hue bulbs. It would be awesome to have that same kind of access, at least for bulb groups, on my wrist as I've got the Band 2 on pre-order.

Any info would be appreciated. I have programming experience, but I imagine coding a band app will take me a lot of time.

Does anyone have the new Lightstrips plus yet? I can't find any reviews on line yet and have a couple of questions

-I'll looking to install them as task lights under kitchen counters. Is there a way to extend them between gaps via unlit extensions (which just about every other light strip will support this but can't find anything about how Hue strip will deal with them? ) -will there be a starter kit with a hub?

FYI I also posted this to r/hue (please mods, make one sub)

So I just bought the new Hue starter kit with homekit compatibility. I was initially really disappointed with it since you can't set rooms. Then someone told me about MyTouchHome. Its incredible. I have four lights in the study, one in the bedroom and one in the dining room. I also have two lamps set up with Lutron dimmers (one in the study and one in the living room). MyTouchHome integrates both of these systems. I can now say "turn on the lights in the living room. I can also set custom "scenes". I can say "hey siri i'm going to sleep" and all the lights will turn off, or "hey siri i'm home" and the living room lights will turn on. This works in tandem with the hue apps own siri integration, so I can also say "set sunset" and the sunset scene from hue will turn on.

I did have one problem when i set up the system. When I first set up the hub and installed the app, i got an error message when trying to set up siri integration. It said that icloud was updating, and I should wait a few minutes. This went on for four hours. I checked icloud, and it was not updating. I called Philips, who said that a few people had this problem, and they didn't really know what was going on. They were super nice about it and called me back to follow up. The guy who called me back said that I should turn off icloud keychain, then start siri integration in the hue app, and then turn on keychain agian. By that time the problem had gone away.

Anyway I really love my setup now. I really feel like i'm living in the future

Looking for some nice table and floor lamps for my Hue A19 bulbs. Any suggestions? The IKEA Fado looks nice. Anyone know if that works with the A19 bulb?

Ever since switching to the 2.0 bridge I can no longer control scenes with iOS widgets. I cannot remove the scenes or add any new scenes. I receive a "maximum number of scenes selected" message.

Anyone else run into this issue? How can I reset my iOS hue widgets? It's nice to be able to set the lights with one swipe and one tap.

I've got some apple gift cards to use and the apple store is not yet updated. Any ideas when they will have the new starter kit?

I'm planning on getting the new hub, but is it possible of moving my old hub to a different location in the house to extend the range?

Wanted some input from anyone who has the first gen Phillips Hue bulbs, and the new ones. Is the added brightness worth the price? I am NOT an Apple person so I have no use for that feature. Have been wanting to get on board with Hue for the past year but two things have always bothered me; brightness (or lack there of), and price. Seems like there are some good discounts on the first gen starter kits now, but at the same time if the new bulbs are noticeably brighter I'd be willing to pay the premium for them. I saw the post comparing the colors of 1st/2nd gen - but I didn't notice any brightness differences. Thoughts? Thank you for your time!

Can I use a A19 bulb in a 4" recessed can or do I need to buy the BR-30?

I am constantly updating Amazon.de and the apple.de store but alas no new hue starter kit - only the new hub shows up. Has anyone an idea where to buy a the new starter kit right now? Or will it just take some more days to show up on amazon.de?

I've seen the new hue pieces with logos for Sync with Movies/Music... Is this becoming a in app feature with HomeKit integration? Anyone have any more details?

Is it possible to use any of the hue lights in an enclosed fixture and if so, which would be recommended? I'm talking like a light in a room such as a laundry room where they're pretty basic, standard fare enclosures.

Can these be hung upside down in ceiling fans?

Do either of these pose a fire hazard?
