Great honest review as usual. I bought the Philips Hue system for my computer room and although I like the system and reasonable ease of use I found the same problem as you in trying to get the lights to work in the way that they are supposed to do. They work but then they seem to lose connection with the Bridge. So I think the problem lies with the software which seems to be very buggy and annoying. Plus I think all their lights are very expensive. So I agree with you Philips needs to sort their buggy software out and their pricing needs to come down

It most likely has to do with your internet connection. The Hue software is very stable and works 99% of the time in my house and houses of family and friends. My brother had the same problem as you're describing, it had to do with an unstable internet connection at his home. He had too many devices hooked up to LAN and wifi, which means the Hue app was not allowed on his network all of the times. You better check your internet and speed, also check your router.

Hey Erin. Great video. I’m new to the smart lighting world and was hoping you might be able to give me some advice. I wanted to start with outdoor wall lights …I wanted to replace the direct wired ones I have on my garage and front door. I really like the Phillips Hue impress but sadly it’s a low voltage and I don’t want to have external wires running down my wall. I did look at the appear but I’m not sure it will provide enough light although it’s rated to have the sake lumens as the impress. Any advice you can give me? I’d like to stick with the Phillips hue package as I’d like to eventually have the low voltage around the house. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for a great review with a lot of information. Two Months down the track and how are you going with the timer settings? I'm using the indoor strip lights, love them, enough to light up my small flat, and I've never had it so good! They work with my google home (via an IFTTT applet) very well. Now I'm looking at the outdoor lights and your review was very helpful with that.

Thank you for the video, only thing I do notice the audio is not consistence and the outdoor humming sound; if you can improve that I'm sure the experience of this video will be more engaging!
