Philips Hue

Pair a Hue Bridge with your LightHub and inherit every bulb on it.

Rhythm talks to Hue through your existing Hue Bridge over the local network. You don't need to re-pair the bulbs — they keep their Hue groupings and stay reachable from the Hue app.

What you need

  • A Hue Bridge (v2, the square one) on the same network as the LightHub
  • Physical access to the bridge for one button press

Pairing

  1. In the app, go to Add device → Hue Bridge.
  2. Press the big round button on top of your Hue Bridge within 30 seconds.
  3. Wait — every bulb behind the bridge appears in the device list.

Notes

Coexistence The Hue app keeps working. Changes made there sync back to Rhythm within a second or two.
