Philips Wi-Fi LED bulbsare also available in the familiar A19 form factor (the tunable-white version is shown here). This interface is basically the same whether the bulb is a color bulb or a white-only model. The primary panel gives you quick access to a virtual on/off switch, a nightlight mode, and two sliders: one for brightness and one for color temperature. The WiZ app contains the usual features that let you assign a bulb to a room and set up scenes, schedules, and “rhythms” (automated lighting transitions designed for regular, daily use).
#PHILIPS WIZ MANUAL#
The good news is that the manual method worked without complaint, and I soon had my test bulb (a full-color BR30) on my network. The only catch: This didn’t work at all in my testing, and after a few minutes of failing to find the new bulb, WiZ directed me to the manual fallback method… and a trip to my iPhone settings. If you like the vintage look, there is also a variety of WiZ bulbs featuring amber glass and exposed LED filaments.īulbs are initially set up within the WiZ app, and a convenient routine here is ostensibly designed to let you connect the bulb to your Wi-Fi network without having to do the usual song and dance of dropping into your phone’s settings menu and connecting to each bulb’s temporary Wi-Fi access point.

You’ll need to drill down into the WiZ app to access detailed color settings for your smart bulb.ĭimmable white (color-temperature tunable) and dimmable color SKUs are available in all three categories. The Philips Smart Wi-Fi LED ecosystem isn’t nearly as big as the Hue ecosystem, but it does include the most common form factors-A19 and BR30-as well as downlights you can use to retrofit existing 6-inch ceiling cans (provided the cans have E26 sockets). The upside of connecting smart bulbs directly to your Wi-Fi network is that you don’t need to also buy a Zigbee-to-Wi-Fi bridge (the Philips Hue Bridge costs around $60). But the WiZ app doesn’t display the same polish as the Hue app. Now operating under the name Signify, the company acquired a competitor-WiZ Connected-in April 2019 to diversify its offering with a line of Wi-Fi-connected smart bulbs. Philips Lighting was one of the first manufacturers to offer a smart bulb, launching the Zigbee-powered Philips Hue line way back in 2012.
