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 EAN lists only Bluetooth and Zigbee. Hue's guide also offers Matter through the Hue Bridge.[1],[4],[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],[4] |
| Google Home | Yes | Works through Hue's own Google Home integration. Hue's (US) FAQ says Bluetooth bulbs work bridgeless only with Google Nest speakers and displays; the EU page lists Google under 'Hue Bridge required'.[1],[5] |
| Amazon Alexa | Yes | Works through Hue's own Alexa integration. Hue's (US) FAQ says Bluetooth bulbs can pair with supported Echo devices without a Bridge; the EU page lists Alexa under 'Hue Bridge required'.[1],[5] |
| SmartThings | Via Philips Hue Bridge | Hue's product page lists SmartThings under 'Hue Bridge required'. Direct Matter pairing is unconfirmed for this EAN (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 EAN 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 for this EAN. CSA's 1100lm A19/A60 Matter listing also gives a Thread transport, but we can't tie it to this EAN, 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: 1100 lm at 4000 K for EAN 8720169364066. Hue's older E27 colour bulb sold as '1100' (EAN 8719514291171) is rated up to 1055 lm; check the EAN on the box.
Before you buy
- Apple Home and SmartThings need a Hue Bridge; direct Matter pairing isn't confirmed for this EAN.
- Hue's EU product page lists Alexa and Google Home under 'Hue Bridge required'; bridgeless voice control is described only in Hue's US FAQ.
- Bluetooth mode tops out at about 10 lights in one room and has no remote access.
- An older Hue E27 colour bulb also sold as '1100' (EAN 8719514291171) is rated up to 1055 lm, so check the EAN on the box.
