Philips Hue Smart Plug 2 Pack - Turn Any Lamp into a Smart Light

In this review the Philips Hue Smart Plug 2 Pack is judged as a simple, effective way to add smart control to lamps and other plug-in lights without replacing bulbs. The most compelling reason to buy is that it converts any standard lamp into a Hue-compatible device with minimal fuss: plug it in, pair by Bluetooth for instant control or add a Hue Bridge to unlock remote access and automations. For someone who wants reliable integration with Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit and prefers a compact, discreet accessory, this pack delivers that core promise.

Key Features

• Two-pack convenience: Includes two smart plugs so you can convert multiple lights at once without buying separate units.
• Easy setup: Plug the device into an outlet, attach the lamp, and use Bluetooth for immediate control or connect to a Hue Bridge for expanded features.
• Voice control: Works with Alexa and Google Assistant via Hue app setup, letting users switch lights on and off or trigger scenes hands free.
• Compact, unobtrusive design: Small white housing fits neatly in an outlet without blocking the second socket in most configurations.
• Bridge and Matter support: Adding a Hue Bridge unlocks automations, remote control and a secure, stable connection, and the plug can integrate using Matter for broader smart home compatibility.

Who It's For

The Philips Hue Smart Plug 2 Pack is aimed at homeowners or renters who want to add smart controls to existing lamps and plug-in lights without changing bulbs, especially when a Hue bulb cannot be used. It suits users who value simple Bluetooth setup for immediate use and those planning to expand to a full Hue system by adding a Hue Bridge for automations and remote access.

It is less appropriate for people who need an advanced energy monitoring plug or who expect the plug alone to provide large numbers of advanced integrations without the Hue Bridge. Buyers who require unusually long battery life in unrelated accessories should note that some customers reported mixed experiences with battery-powered devices in the Hue ecosystem.
