Philips Hue meets Siri

Hello all,
I hope that I'm in the right community with my thread...
Several months ago I bought some Philips Hue Lamps for my flat. The Philips-App works fine and I really enjoy controlling the light with my iPhone.
But, there is one thing I really miss und would love to enjoy in a future iOS/Siri-Update:
Please bring us Siri-Support for the Hue Light-System.
"Siri, lights on."
"Siri, lights off."
"Siri, dimm the light."
"Siri, set light scene XYZ"
In my opinion it would be an amazing improvement to Siri.
@ the community, please support this thread so the developers take notice and bring us this improvement as soon as possible ;-)
thx

Good news! At Apple's WWDC 2014, they announced support for "Home Kit" which will allow you to interact with your devices through Siri. Philips was one of the companies they mentioned they are working with to add support. Should be available later this year when iOS 8 comes out!!

Philips HUE Lights with iPad/iPhone

I've had ups and downs with my first weekend with Philips Hue lights. Overall love it with so many questions. No one at the Apple Store where I live has experience with it.
First, I downloaded the app to both my iPhone 5 and to my iPad Air. Big mistake. The Meet Hue website only accepted one device and refused to accept the iPhone device after installing on both devices (instructions MINIMAL) so I thought I had to say good-bye to geo-tracking and the portal since I don't carry the iPad routinely (besides I leave some lights on for the doggies). I tried everything to get Hue to accept the iPhone but error message was that the portal would not accept me because "the bridge linked to your account is different from your local bridge." Tried everything. The iPhone was never listed as an app in My Hue just the iPad. FINALLY, I deleted the app in the iPhone and reinstalled the app in the iPad and all worked and I could work with the portal.
Secondly, the starter kit worked with the scene samples but not the three extra bulbs. The three extra bulbs in the adjoining bedroom could be turned on and off and the slider toggles in the app could be used to modify color. I could also select photos from my photo stream to use to drag all 6 bulbs onto to light a;l 6 bulbs and not just the three i the starter kit but i couldn't send the finished project to the website since the iPhone wasn't recognized. Again, after going back to the iPad, the portal re-opened and everything seemed to work just fine. I did notice on a few occasions that colors of the bulbs returned to default a few times.
Questions questions questions.
This morning only two lamps would turn on with my iPad app so I turned all lamps on manually and then started the app again and all was well. I imagine it was a wifi connection issue. Still thrilled, however.

You would probably have better luck if you asked your questions on one of the Phillips forums.

Wanted to buy Philips Hue bulb but payment not going through

Hi, I'm from India & want to buy Philips Hue bulbs. But the payment is not going through. I have tried with 3 credits cards that i have, but didn't go through. I was able to buy the starter pack of philips hue a month ago & i got those bulbs here with the help of my friend in USA. Now i tried with same credit card but was not able to buy.
Also searched though whole site & couldn't find email id where i can send mail to customer support. Apple site takes you round & round through their site but no email id to be found.
Hope some customer support person see's this post.

Hi Manoj,
I would recommed getting it from a European country or from the UK which has a 220-240V supply. The US bulbs are 110V and i've read some conflicting reports on their compatibility with a 220-240V power supply (India). It turns out to be expensive if you buy it from UK as compared to the US but at least there will be no doubts about it working. You may just be taking a chance plugging a US 110V directly in India but if you already have tried it then please share your experience here.
All the best!!
Regards,
Hanoze

Philips Hue Go review

When Philips Hue launched I was fascinated and excited by it: a light bulb that connects to my wireless network that could be controlled by my iPhone … and change to any colour! Very cool. Hue has done well, and the line has diversified, growing to encompass other smartphone platforms and different bulb types. With Hue Go, Philips is launching a different type of product: a light that stands alone or connects with your network … but that you can take with you. I had the chance to use it for a week. Here’s what that was like.

Philips Hue with Ipod Touch

We would like to use the IPod touch in our new bathroom. Mounted to the wall permanently.
I would like to control the Philips Hue lights to it and also a sound system.
Can anybody help me in what products I can best use?
We've got the Philips hue lights and the iPod touch already.
Help would be HIGHLY appreciated!

Not sure I have what looking for, but sound systems are either hardwired, use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, I guess pick one. My only concern / issue would be a bathroom is a high moisture environment, not a good thing for an iPod. Just something to think about. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

Can I purchase Philips Hue products directly from an Apple Store without having placed an online request for personal pickup?

I'v taken a recent interest in Philips Hue products, particularly their GU10 bulbs. I was therefore wondering if it was possible to simply walk in and purchase the bulbs over the counter (assuming they have them in stock) without placing an online request for personal pickup?

Yes but I would check to see if they have them in stock

How to confugure airport to connect to philips hue website

how to confugure airport to connect to philips hue website

Sorry, but I'm not familar with the Hue product. From what limited information I can gather the Hue Bridge attaches to an existing router via an Ethernet connection.
To link the bridge to the meethue website the bridge would just need to be connected to the same network that your computer is connected to. Then, it would be a matter of using a web browser on the computer to go to the meethue website and login. Is logging on to this website the issue? If so, does your computer have any issues accessing other websites?
I am assuming that when you set up the Hue Bridge that all of its status lights were solidly lit ... correct?

Ios7 and philips hue lighting problems

hello, im not sure where to ask this question but here goes. will apple make a roll back to ios6? i have the philips hue lights and the geofencing will not work after the iOS update? anyone on here having the same trouble?

Nope,never will they make one, The only way is to Jail break your phone. Once doing this fabulous mod you can do any thing to your phone that you want! Anything, since you will have voided your Warranty! Thats right done finished screwed amd tattooed. Not to mention you may also be the owner of a non working phone if you mess up that process!
As for the geofencing delete and reinstall, there may be an update too so it will work with ios 7. If you still have issue you will have to get a hold of the app devloper.

How do I return my faulty Philips Hue bulb to Apple UK

According to Philips, my bulb is faulty and I should return it to Apple UK, where I bought it from. I can't find any information on how I do this. There's no email address or physical address anywhere on Philps or Apple's site and I'm going round in circles here. This hardware is expensive and I'd like it replaced. It shouldn't break after 10 months.

After 10 months it's doubtful that the Apple Store will handle a defective third-party product, though you can call them and ask. Most likely you'll need to arrange service directly with Philips. Perhaps this web page will help:

Siri - Invite Contact with Multiple E-Mail Address to Meeting = No Invitation

Hi
Wondering if anyone else notices this weird behaviour of Siri when trying to invite a person to a meeting. I know Siri is in Beta but maybe this could help to improve its functionality.
Scenario
- Schedule a Meeting using Siri and inviting a person to that meeting (i.e send out invitation to that person)
- Person Contact in Addressbook has more than 1 e-mail address (like business and private)
Outcome
When trying to schedule a meeting and inviting a contact to that meeting, Siri will ask you what e-mail address shall be used. However, when the meeting has been added to your calendar, the invitee/attendee does not appear in the calendar entry and therefore never receives a notification.
How it should work
When doing the exact same thing with a contact that has only 1 e-mail address in their contact details, Siri correctly adds the person as an invitee and sends out the invitation to that e-mail address.
This is very annoying as I'm guessing lots of people have contacts in their addressbook with their business and private e-mail address.
Can anyone confirm this behaviour or is it just me? Any help is highly appreciated!
Addtional info / Stuff I noticed
- I'm synching my Addressbook through Exchange. Unfortunately, although in my e-mail programm offers different form fields for various e-mail addresses (business, private, home, assistant etc) they all show up as "e-mail" on the iPhone. Therefore Siri could not even distinguish which address to chose without tapping on it with the finger.
- Siri seems to be much more unreliable when trying to schedule a meeting with a person having more than 1 e-mail address. In contrast to having just 1 e-mail address in the contact, Siri almost always responds by saying "uh-oh there was a problem.. could you try again".

Please state your problem and we'll try to help you.

IOS8: why is the airplay icon missing from embedded web video players?

Can someone explain to me why the airplay icon that used to reside in the lower right hand corner of videos played inside safari or youtube or amblify is now gone? The only way I can use airplay is to mirror my whole phone from the control center which is kind of annoying. not to mention instead of my photos screensaver passing through when using amblify with my stereo and philips Hue, my guests have to look at the control panel for amblify. This is extremely annoying, is this a glitch or is this how iOS8 is supposed to function? ?f I am reading an article on my phone and I come upon a video related to the article its a lot easier to press that button than to have to mirror the whole phone from the control center . . .

Hi Mr Sheppard,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
In iOS 8, the AirPlay icon () should still appear in the lower right hand corner of videos you play on your iPhone. This function is not currently working as expected on your device, and I know that causes frustration.
To troubleshoot the situation, I recommend the steps in this article:
Resolve issues with AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring from iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
They can help get your iPhone back into proper working order.
All the best,
Jeremy

TS1398 How to connect iPad to private router not connected to the internet?

I have an iPad 2 running iOS6.1 that will not connect to my Asus RT-AC66R router when the router is not connected to the internet. The message I get on my iPad is "The cable for ethernet is not plugged in". This also happens with my iPod gen 5.
I'm trying to control Philips Hue bulbs with their Zigbee bridge connected to the router, but I do not want a connection to the internet. The Hue app works with an Android phone and an older iPhone 4 running an older iOS version without the router connected to the internet. The newer iOS6 seems to want to have access to the internet, but having internet access should not be required for this application.
If I do connect the router to the internet, the Hue app works on my iPad2 and it continues to work for a couple of minutes after I disconnect the internet cable. Then I get the message "The cable for ethernet is not plugged in" again. I'm doing this at work where I'm not supposed to connect the router to the work network cable, else it wouldn't be an issue.

Log in to another computer, family's or friend's, and download it to a USB drive, using YOUR OWN Apple ID and then install it onto your Mac. Preferably you could use someone else's WiFi connection to directly download and install on your Mac,

Iphone 4s meeting invitation not working properly also Siri in the UK not 100%!!

Hi,
I recently received an iPhone 4s and have been trying the Siri function out. First of all when I create a meeting I do the following...
Me - "Create a work meeting on Monday at 4pm"
Siri - "Ok, I have created your meeting"
Me - "Add *recipients name*
Siri - "Ok, I have made that change to your meeting. Shall I create that?"
Me - "Yes"
The meeting shows as - "Work meeting with *Recipients name*.
The meeting is sent to my friend via email and when they receive it, it says that they are the organiser and won't let them accept it!! This is a big fault I feel as I will need to use this feature whilst driving to work.
FYI - My friend is on Blackberry so I am not sure if this will affect it?
Also please can someone advise when Siri will be allowed to do searches like... "Where is London" or "what's the traffic like in Stoke" as at the moment it just says it can only do that in America... Again a big issue as it would be very handy whilst driving around for work!!
Other than these issues I think the 4s is fantastic
Thanks

Have you tried "calibrating" it? To do that, use it until it dies completely, then let it sit for 5 hours. Plug it in and let it charge fully. Try that and see if it helps.

Siri won't continue when I touch the meeting I want to reschedule

I'm syncing my iPhone with Google Calendar (through the Microsoft Exchange protocol that Google provides). I only have this one calendar on my iPhone. Let's say I have 3 meetings tomorrow. Since I don't remember the exact names of them, I'll say "Reschedule tomorrow’s meeting” which Siri will respond “You have 3 meetings tomorrow. Touch the one you want to reschedule”. The 3 meetings display properly, but as soon as I touch one, Siri responds “You have no meetings tomorrow” and won't continue.
However, if I know the exact name of the meeting, I can say “Reschedule the ‘conference call’” and Siri will find it and process it properly. Does anyone else have this issue?

Hi, my camara is approved.. my memory is 1 GB DDr2 SDRAM
and my processor is 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo
I know that Mac is not supposed to get viruses, but what else is going on here? It sure acts like one.. at least as far as my experience goes with non apple viruses.. I have found since I posted this problem that if I drag my clips out of the trash I can restore them.. but have just tried that and the fly right back to the trash, and when I click on a clip to open it, this message appears: "to use this item, drag it out of the trash first".. which is what I just tried to do, but like I said, it just flies back to the trash like it is attached with a rubber band..
Any help is very much appreciated.. Thanks.
