If you’re setting up a smart home with both Shelly devices and Philips Hue lights, you might wonder if they can work together. While they don’t integrate directly, there are easy ways to link them through a smart home platform. Here’s how to make it happen.
Are Shelly and Philips Hue Compatible?
Shelly devices and Philips Hue lights do not directly integrate because they use different communication protocols:
• Shelly: Uses Wi-Fi for control and automation.
• Philips Hue: Uses Zigbee and typically requires a Hue Bridge.
However, you can bridge the gap using smart home hubs or platforms like:
• Home Assistant
• SmartThings
• Hubitat
• Apple HomeKit (via Homebridge)
Why Combine Shelly with Hue?
Combining both systems gives you:
• Enhanced Lighting Automation: Use Shelly relays to trigger Hue scenes or control lights.
• Unified Control: Manage both systems through a single smart home hub.
• Increased Flexibility: Combine Wi-Fi and Zigbee devices without being tied to one ecosystem.
