Philips Hue Maximum Distance From Bridge Test

Описание: Philips Hue Maximum Distance From Bridge Test

What is the maximum distance that Philips Hue and/or the Philips Hue bridge will work? Is there a maximum Philips Hue bridge distance? These are tough questions to answer without a pretty serious test.

I take my iPhone as a controller using the Apple Homekit application and move around my house, giving you the distance from my Philips Hue Bridge each time I test the functionality. In the end I give you the ultimate Philips Hue distance from bridge capability that you'll get in your house. Tip: it's a long ways.

One quick note: I do set up a Philips Hue light quickly in this video.

One major finding that occurred from this test is that it's your controller that has to be closer to the Philips Hue bridge. The lights themselves can have a little extra distance. I personally believe that's because the bridge is simply authorizing the action from your device and your iPhone, Android phone or tablet, or your Philips Hue controller is the device sending the signal out to turn on or off. Either way, there are some interesting findings in this maximum distance test for our Philips Hue lights.
