Philips Hue Smart Plug (UK) reaches Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant through a Hue Bridge, where it talks Zigbee. On its own it pairs over Bluetooth with the Hue app, and there is no Wi-Fi. Hue says Matter is available via the Bridge, but we found no certification for the plug itself.

“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

- Zigbee, Bluetooth[1]
- Energy monitoring
- Unconfirmed
- Max load
- Unconfirmed
- Radio: Bluetooth for direct app control; Zigbee to the Hue Bridge. Works without Wi-Fi.
- Hub: Bluetooth gives direct control without a Bridge; the Bridge is needed for voice assistants, Matter and wider features.
- Local control: Bluetooth control without Wi-Fi; the Hue Bridge offers a local API used by Home Assistant.
- Energy monitoring: Hue's UK pages mention no energy metering, but none says explicitly that it is absent.
- Max load: Hue's figures disagree: the UK spec sheet gives 'Maximum power consumption: 3,120 W' (the product page shows 'Power 3,120' with no unit), while the EU record cites Hue support giving 3250 W for Great Britain. Not confirmed.
Before you buy
- Voice assistants and Matter need a Hue Bridge; Bluetooth alone covers only the Hue app.
- Hue's UK pages don't give a clear load rating, so check the plug's label before connecting heavy appliances.
- Hue lists no energy metering, so don't count on power readings.
