FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Bridge Pro over previous models?
The Bridge Pro features a new chip that enables faster performance, supports more complex AI-driven features, and offers greater capacity for lights, accessories, and stored scenes compared to older Bridge versions.
Can I use the Hue MotionAware feature with just the bulbs?
No, Hue MotionAware requires at least three Hue devices (which can include smart bulbs, lamps, or lightstrips) that have motion sensors integrated or are connected through the Bridge to detect movement.
How many lights can the Bridge Pro support?
The Bridge Pro can support over 150 lights and more than 50 accessories, providing ample room for expansion.
Do the included bulbs offer both white and color light?
Yes, the included three A60 E27 LED smart bulbs are White and Color Ambiance, meaning they can produce a range of tunable white light (from warm to cool) and 16 million different colors.
What is the purpose of the smart button?
The smart button provides customizable physical control over your lights. You can program it to turn lights on/off, change scenes, dim, or adjust colors with a simple press.
Do I need a separate motion sensor for Hue MotionAware?
No, the Hue MotionAware functionality is designed to work with your existing Hue devices. You do not need to purchase separate motion sensors if you have at least three Hue devices connected via the Bridge.
Can I migrate my existing Hue setup to the Bridge Pro?
Yes, the Bridge Pro is designed to allow easy migration of all your existing Hue devices, and it also offers significantly more capacity for adding even more lights and accessories in the future.
Troubleshooting
