Philips Hue Starter Kit
I run a lot of my lighting off the Philips Hue Bridge inside Apple Home, and it’s the reason I keep coming back to Hue even though it breaks my “avoid hubs” rule. The app is unparalleled, stability has been great for me, and the color quality (especially blues and purples) is still the benchmark.
Pros
- +Excellent color reproduction and saturation, especially blues/purples
- +Very stable over time (I had one bulb die after ~6 years)
- +Hue app is best-in-class and widely supported by third-party apps
- +Huge variety of bulb sizes and options
Cons
- -Expensive compared to competitors
- -Requires a hub and uses Zigbee (not Thread)
- -Matter update can be a hassle if you don’t want to reconfigure
