Philips Hue Bridge Pro Smart Hub, black

Great upgraded hub. Disregard the member who says the range isn't as good as this is not true. My ONLY complaint is being able to easily transfer one old hub to the new hub.

I think it is great, love new motion sensor feature. Would love if they added days of the week customization to the settings. Definitely worth the money

Works Great!! When I tell my Google nest hub to turn on lights or fans, the response time is super Fast!!!!!! My old Hue bridge was good , but this one is so much better and faster. My favorite feature is, it's wireless. I can place it anywhere.

Super easy migration to Pro ! It had 40 lights to migrate and all worked.

I bought this Bridge Pro to replace my existing older bridge, which worked fine. I thought the Pro version would lead to faster response times between lights and devices but after successfully migrating everything without a problem, I don't notice any meaningful performance increase. Did it migrate everything well? Yes! Did I really need to upgrade? Probably not… but now I know my system is ready to handle more.

The new bridge looks good. It does still lose connection and can be troublesome to connect back to the Internet, but it is better than the old bridge.

I'm happy with this product that I bought approximately a month ago. It's great!

Unfortunate that the “Pro version” isn't PoE. Very easy to migrate my current system, and the motion feature works great. But overall the response time is MUCH slower than the old version with Alexa commands. By the tune of 8-9 seconds slower.

This bridge was supposed to solve some of the problems of its predecessor, and in that narrow sense, I suppose it has succeeded. Unfortunately, its strikingly poor reliability creates a much bigger problem: it significantly diminishes the value of the Hue ecosystem as a whole. The real cost of that unreliability isn't simply downtime or the number of dropped connections, it's what happens afterward. When the bridge reconnects, it frequently fails to restore its integrations cleanly, forcing you to completely remove and re-add it and all of the underlying devices tied to the bridge to whatever smart-home platform you're using to integrate Hue with the rest of your system. The larger your Hue installation, the worse this becomes. More lights mean more work every time the bridge fails, until eventually the easiest solution is to throw the bridge and all the bulbs tied to it in the garbage.

I gave it one star because it only half works had no problem out of my old one but this one the motion doesn't work and the security features don't either.
