Next, I tapped Add Accessory and selected the Hue Smart Plug from the list of devices. To start, I plugged the device into an outlet, opened the Hue mobile app, tapped Settings, and selected Accessory Setup. I connected the plug to my Hue Bridge, but installing it as a Bluetooth device is just as easy using the Hue Bluetooth app. Philips recommends that the plug only be used for lights and not for other devices such as coffee makers and fans. It has an on/off button on the left side, and Bluetooth and Zigbee radios on the inside, but it lacks a Wi-Fi radio.
At 2.0 by 1.0 by 3.0 inches (HWD), it's just a bit smaller than the SmartThings plug (1.5 by 2.6 by 2.1). The Hue Smart Plug is white, with a single three-prong outlet on the front and a three-prong plug on the back. It also lacks some of the features that you get with our Editors’ Choice, the $17.99 Samsung SmartThings Wifi Smart Plug, including power reporting and an embedded Wi-Fi radio. It can also interact with other smart devices via IFTTT applets, but you have to connect it to a Hue Bridge to do this and to control the plug remotely. Designed for lights only, this Bluetooth-enabled single outlet smart plug is easy to install and uses the Hue mobile app to turn lights on and off, run routines, and interact with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice services. The Hue Smart Plug ($29.99) makes it possible to add non-smart lighting to your Philips Hue ecosystem.
