![]() ![]() As we played tracks from different genres, we found there was a clear difference between the colors the bulb illuminated, as well as the intensity of the brightness they glowed. ![]() So what can you expect? We put the Philips Hue and Spotify integration to the test and were impressed. (Image credit: Philips) So, what’s the integration actually like? The Hue Bridge comes bundled with starter kits, which are priced at $119.99 / £129.99 / AU$179.99 but it can also be purchased alone for $49.99 / £49.99 / AU$84.99. However, it is necessary if you want to control the bulbs when you’re not close by, and for features that see the bulbs sync with other products, such as your TV, as well as services including Spotify - so be ready for that extra expense if you’re a newer Hue user but want this fancy extra The Hue Bridge isn’t necessary for newer versions of the bulbs to be set-up and used in the most basic way, as the bulbs have Bluetooth. ![]() The feature only works with color bulbs and does require a Hue Bridge - a hub that connects to your router using an ethernet cable and then talks to the bulbs, so an algorithm can analyse the tracks that are playing through Spotify and relay relevant commands for color and speed at which they pulse to the Philips Hue bulbs. The integration also works no matter what device you’re listening to Spotify on, whether that’s a phone, tablet or even through the best Sonos speakers.Īnd as it doesn’t require your phone’s microphone to be listening to the music playing, you could still use your smartphone to take a call without the lights failing to pulsate. So if you’re not currently a Spotify user, you can rectify that by signing up for an account in just a few minutes. However, the good news is you don’t need a Spotify Premium account, as it will work with the free version.
