A fair warning to anyone who doesn't have these in your house. This pack is a gateway drug into having them in your whole house.

Tread with caution. It gets expensive

No worries. I was looking for a sunrise alarm for my son and found I could use this with an iOS app (Sleep Cycle) that tracks sleep to do the same. Looks like I could also use the bridge with the Apple Home ecosystem to have more features. Thought I would share if anyone was looking.

Those won't change color temperatures.

It mentions that it supports Alexa, but no mention of Google Home? That seems odd to me. I just bought the White 2-Pack starter from BB for $45. Wondering if I should return for this kit, but I need Google support.
It says this in the description:

"Control lights with your voice
When connected to the Hue Bridge, you can pair your lights with Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and the Google Assistant and control your lights using just your voice. Simple voice commands let you turn your lights on and off, dim or brighten your lights, and even set a light scene."

I have the 1st gen HUB. Does the newer version HUB offer any improvements or features where it would be worth swapping this hub for my old one?

Can these replicate the brightness/hue of "daylight" bulbs? I'm used to not having that "yellow" feel when it comes to lighting at home.

I want these, but I also want a Hue dimmer switch and they've been sold out for months now.
I still got one brand new dimmer switch that came with the starter kit that I bought. Let me know if you are interested, from NY 11374.

There is a setting to change how the bulb reacts when power is restored. I think you should try to reset the hub again and if necessary, try swapping the hub. Also, check for other devices that could be controlling the hue lights. I've had issues with f.lux on my PC trying to control my hue lights.

I've got over 20 bulbs and they work really well outside of the once in a blue moon glitch.
Thanks. I'm aware of the reset state option in the app…didn't work. I've actually tried all the suggested solutions already. Both bulbs have the same issue and won't operate even from a physical switch.

Anybody get a ship date on these yet? I ordered 4 days ago and have no update, and Philips order status search just errors out. Just curious if these orders are getting fulfilled timely.

They are pretty bad at providing status, but you will get them. I think the last time I ordered from them they sent the email the day before it was scheduled to be delivered. It shipped several days earlier.

For those that already have a hub, wouldn't this be a better deal?

As others have said, these are white light LED bulbs only. I personally have all of mine default to warm white, because it's much easier on the eyes, so need the E26s for that extra spectrum.

Also, if you already have a hub and you are into selling things on eBay, Hue hubs are an easy flip (which could make this deal end game cost close to nothing, nothing, or even plus a small bit of cash if you're lucky).

Yeah, it can be hard to tell because they use the Philips name so prominently, but all Hue products come from Signify, which is a spinoff that was created in 2016 for the Hue brand (and a few select others) and licenses the Philips name. It's not Philips directly that you are getting Hue lights from, it's Signify, so not quite the same general Philips level of broad national reach (meaning things don't get to you quite as quickly). Support takes longer too, as it's not as largely staffed, being a smaller outfit.

Case and point, they ran out entirely of Hue Play HDMI Sync Boxes right around after Christmas this year and I was in the middle of a probably half-month long (at that point) customer service ticket to get my faulty one replaced. When it finally got to the point that they were going to send me the replacement, they had 0 stock and virtually every official outlet no longer had any stock either. Signify could not give me any type of ETA on when more would be produced/in stock and it's still that way at the moment. All in all the support process for that took probably a month and a half until they finally cut and sent me a full price refund check in lieu of a replacement. Not to knock them or anything though, they do a good job, just seems like they may be a bit overinundated at the moment.

An additional benefit to these bulbs versus the ones that just do warm white is that they can dim to 1% and become really dim.

The warm white can only go to ~15%. So anything between 1% and 15% gives same level of light.
