Philips Hue
Philips Hue is the most capable wireless lighting platform on the market. While often seen as a DIY product, when integrated correctly with professional keypads and automation, it provides an excellent experience for retrofit properties.

Using Hue Professionally
How we turn a consumer product into a professional system.
The biggest mistake with Hue is relying on the app or cheap plastic remotes. For a professional experience, we recommend:
- Lutron Pico Keypads: Use high-quality, wall-mounted keypads to trigger Hue scenes.
- Control4 Integration: Tie Hue into your wider smart home for automated 'Welcome Home' or 'Goodnight' scenes.
- Hardwired Power: Ensure bulbs always have power so they remain reachable by the system.
- Bridge Placement: Proper positioning of Hue Bridges to ensure full mesh coverage in larger properties.
