New Homekit Enabled Philips Hue Lights And Bridge Box Already Available To Buy Online

• Philips Hue Bridge – $59.99
• Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Starter A19 Kit — $199.99
• Philips Hue White Starter A19 Kit

This is not a complete list of what Philips has in the wings, more should surface soon …

Combined with the new bridge box, the Hue lights finally bring full support for Apple’s HomeKit technology allowing you to control Hue lights using integrated apps on the iPhone and with voice commands through Siri, such as ‘turn off all the lights’ or ‘start the party scene’. The Hue Bridge only supports HomeKit light protocols however, so devices like the Hue Tap will not be included in the HomeKit ecosystem.

One user on Reddit has already got his hands on the new gear and has posted some photos of the new products. It also confirms that one of the new Hue lights can indeed max out at 800 lumens, as we claimed in our report from last week.
