Hue's own integrations connect the Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance A19 to Alexa and Google Home, either bridgeless over Bluetooth on supported Echo and Google Nest speakers or through a Hue Bridge. Apple Home and SmartThings need the Bridge, and Home Assistant has official integrations for both routes. This US version (product code 046677591168) is a full-colour bulb with an E26 base, rated up to 1100 lumens. Matter is unconfirmed: CSA lists an 1100 lm A19/A60 Hue bulb, but Hue's page for this code mentions only Bluetooth and Zigbee.
Checked against 8 sources on
Ecosystem compatibility
| Platform | Works? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Matter | Unconfirmed | Official sources disagree. CSA's 'White and Color Ambiance 1100lm A19/A60' listing gives Thread and Bluetooth transport (Matter 1.3), but Hue's page for this product code lists only Bluetooth and Zigbee. Hue's guide also offers Matter through the Hue Bridge.[2],[6] |
| Apple Home | Via Philips Hue Bridge | Hue's product page lists Apple Home under 'Hue Bridge required'; the Bridge links via HomeKit or Matter. If this bulb is the CSA-listed Thread model it may also pair directly via Matter; not confirmed.[1],[2] |
| Google Home | Yes | Hue's own integration. Hue's FAQ and Google support pages say Bluetooth bulbs work bridgeless with Google Nest speakers and displays only; the product page lists Google under 'Hue Bridge required', which unlocks full features.[1],[3],[5] |
| Amazon Alexa | Yes | Hue's own integration. Hue's FAQ and Alexa setup page say Bluetooth bulbs can be added directly on supported Echo devices; the product page lists Alexa under 'Hue Bridge required', which adds the Hue skill and more features.[1],[3],[4] |
| SmartThings | Via Philips Hue Bridge | Hue's product page lists SmartThings under 'Hue Bridge required'. Direct Matter pairing is unconfirmed for this product code (see Matter).[1] |
| Home Assistant | Yes | Official Hue integration (via Hue Bridge) and official Hue BLE integration (2025.12, bridgeless Bluetooth). The BLE docs name specific Hue models and say others should work; this product code isn't named.[7],[8] |
“Via Matter” means you add it with that platform's Matter controller instead of a brand skill or app. “Unconfirmed” means we couldn't find an official source either way. How we verify.
Specs that matter for setup
- Radio: Hue lists Bluetooth and Zigbee. CSA's 1100lm A19/A60 Matter listing also gives a Thread transport, but we can't tie it to this product code, so Thread is not listed here.
- Hub: Basic control works over Bluetooth from the Hue app (up to 10 lights, one room). A Hue Bridge is needed for Apple Home, SmartThings, remote access and larger setups.
- Local control: Bluetooth control from a phone needs no internet; the Hue Bridge also offers a local API that Home Assistant uses.
- Light: Full colour plus tunable white; Hue quotes a 1000–20000 K range.
- Brightness: Up to 1100 lm per Hue's page for product code 046677591168. Hue also sells A19 colour bulbs with lower output (e.g. 800 lm), so check the code on the box.
Before you buy
- Apple Home and SmartThings need a Hue Bridge; direct Matter pairing isn't confirmed for this product code.
- Without a Bridge, Google control works only from Google Nest speakers and displays.
- Bluetooth mode tops out at about 10 lights in one room and has no remote access.
- Hue also sells lower-output A19 colour bulbs (e.g. 800 lm), so check for product code 046677591168 on the box.
