Philips Hue smart lights have a ton of benefits: You can control them with your voice, phone or computer, and easily create the right mood by choosing from pre-built “scenes.”

You can also create your own scenes. Just set the light to the right hue (hence the name) and brightness, give it a name, and you’re all set! You can now ask for that scene with your voice, or your phone, and your lights will change automatically.

Thanks to the Hue app, you can control your lights even if you’re not physically at home.
