Take it out of the packaging, plug it into power and your network. Philips Hue Hubs do not operate off
Wi-Fi, they require to be connected directly to the network using an ethernet cable
Ensure your connected to the same network Wi-Fi so you can complete the next steps
(Ok so we said Philips Hue doesn’t operate of Wi-Fi that’s right it doesn’t, but we did say it plugs into a
port on the back of your Modem which connects it directly to your Wi-Fi, clever aren’t we)
Open the Hue App on your phone/tablet
Please note, the first time you open the Hue App you will automatically put into a process to find and
add the Hue Hub. Use this default setup for easy connection and skip to Step 7 but if this is not the first
time you have opened the Hue App please follow the below steps...
Go to Settings > Click Hue Bridges > Click > Add Hue Bridge
The local bridge should be found on the network, if it’s not found search again and make sure you’re on
the same Wi-Fi as the device is plugged into
Once found, Click Connect > Push the button on the Philips Hue Bridge
