Assistant-Integrated Smart Lights

Philips Hue Bulbs are Now Compatible With Google Assistant

— October 3, 2017 — Tech
No matter how stylish one's decor or impressive one's tech, poor lighting can destroy the effect that homeowners are looking for, so Philips and Google are looking to make home lighting easier with Philips Hue bulbs' integration with the tech giant's smart home range. Philips Hue bulbs are now integrated with the Google Assistant system, meaning that users can control lighting with their voices and with any of the different Google products that run the Assistant.

Google Home in particular is one of the most popular products for Google Assistant integration, and the Philips Hue bulbs indeed work with the home. Setting up the compatibility is as easy as tapping a few buttons on one's smartphone, allowing for hands-free operation.

The integrations stretch far beyond simply turning the lights on and off. With Google Assistant, users can ask to see whether they've left the lights on in a certain room, they can set timers, they can control the color scheme of the room depending on the Hue bulbs installed, and so much more.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Home Integration - The integration of Philips Hue bulbs with Google Assistant demonstrates the trend of smart home devices becoming more interconnected and streamlined.
2. Voice-activated Lighting Control - The ability to control lighting with voice commands through Google Assistant and Philips Hue bulbs reflects the trend of voice-activated technology becoming increasingly prevalent in the home.
3. Enhanced Lighting Functionality - The expanded features of the integration between Google Assistant and Philips Hue bulbs highlight the trend of smart lighting systems offering more advanced functionality beyond simple on/off control.
Industry Implications

3. Smart Lighting Systems - The growing demand for advanced lighting functionality, as demonstrated by the integration between Google Assistant and Philips Hue bulbs, creates opportunities for companies in the smart lighting systems industry to develop more innovative and customizable lighting solutions.
