Philips hue is a bright star intelligent lighting system in Europe and America last year. It is very doubtful before use, how smart is a color changing lamp that can be controlled remotely? Let’s take a look! Package Contents When you put hue on your hand, it will give people a bright feeling. It seems that Philips has always given people a traditional image and it has disappeared. Hue is definitely a trendy product. The interesting point of the package is on the round roller on the right side of the box. By moving the wheel, the color of the central bulb will always change. The cleverness of this design is that it not only shows the characteristics of hue, but even if you don't buy it, passers-by may not be able to play it. The inside of the package is also very simple, three LED bulbs that support wireless networking, and the bottom-white round hardware is the bridge responsible for networking. In addition, there is a mini-transformer and a cable for the bridge in the mezzanine, but nothing else. DSCF3221hue compared with ordinary light bulbs, because of the more complicated structure, it seems to be "extraordinary" Installation is so simple Assembling the hue is very simple. When you screw the light bulb into the light tube (E27 big head), it is almost half successful. The only difference from a normal light bulb is that you need to connect the white bridge to the router in your home (below), and download the hue client to your smartphone/table by scanning the QR code, then you can complete the control. Pairing. It takes no more than 5 minutes from unpacking to successful lighting and pairing. The first point of "smart" on hue is its ease of use. At this time, you may understand why there is no manual in the package, because by scanning the QR code on the package, the mobile phone can start downloading immediately after downloading the application. used. However, you need to talk about the technical components of hue before introducing the function. Hue literally means "color." The color and brightness of the light bulb can be changed at will. For ordinary light bulbs, only the light bulb can be replaced, but for hue, you only need to draw a mobile phone application to meet your needs. Users can use iOS/Android devices (Note: Android client will be online in the near future), you can remotely control the light group according to your preferences and indoor environment. Each light bulb contains three colors of LED core. (Red, Blue, Cyan), the color temperature can be switched from cold to warm, so in theory, a total of 16 million colors can be allocated. The power of this system is that a group of bridges can support up to 50 hue bulbs, which can be integrated with one mobile phone and wirelessly set up and interact with indoor lighting. Philips has not used traditional WiFi for the networking solution of 50 bulbs, because the first question is why we are now replacing the energy-saving lamps? There is no doubt that it is to save energy. Therefore, in addition to the use of only 8.5 W with 600 lumens of LED lights (this brightness is equivalent to 60W ordinary light bulbs), Philips used another wireless communication technology Zigbee on hue. The advantage of Zigbee technology over WiFi is that on the one hand, the power consumption is only 1/10 of the latter. On the other hand, Zigbee uses a mesh network. This technology does not only transmit information at a single point. It is because each bulb can communicate with each other (as shown in the following figure), so it is possible to rely on the bulb to expand the network range and reduce the pressure on the environment and the central control. Energy-efficient and stable Zigbee is a very good solution for smart home appliances. When the mobile phone opens the hue app, the system can automatically detect all the hue bulbs in the house, and you can set them individually. For the convenience of users, Philips has preset a variety of different color and brightness schemes, such as a more powerful reading mode, vitality mode, as well as a sunset mode and a beach mode. Different modes will have different performances in color, brightness, and color temperature. For example, when three hue bulbs are used together to represent the sunset, one of them acts as a highlight, and the other two act as divine and dark light respectively. On the wall, it will be close to the real dusk effect. In addition, the user can let the app read the photos in the phone, for example, if you select a photo of a Japanese bird house, the light bulb will show a thick red. In general, various effects can be DIY with the user, and more custom scenes can be downloaded and uploaded. However, if you can only do "lust", then hue may be more suitable for bars and galleries, but for a smart home item, in addition to the color of life, perhaps we need to be smart to improve the quality of life.
