what is a bridge? is it echo? an app? or a hub? null

No, it’s not an Echo or an app. It’s a device that you purchase separately that works like a hub connector for your automated devices. You can get it with a Phillips hue starter kit or purchase it separately. At that point you’ll download the Phillips hue app so that you can control your lights/automated devices. *once you have your bridge and lights connected then you can set it up to be controlled by Siri (Home App) or Alexa.

The Bridge is the device that you hook up to your wifi, then the lights hook up to the bridge. Its like a Hub for the lights. Then you use the Hue app to talk to the bridge and control your light. If you have an amazon Echo device you can hook up your Hue account to it and then control your light with your Echo.

The bridge is an additional device you connect to you router or home network. This then creates the network for you lights or less to connect to. Think of it as a controller for your lights.

The Hue Bridge is a wireless hub, as it were. It connects to your router (wired ethernet connection) and allows control of all the HUE lights. This is the device itself, but you can buy it in a kit with lights as well. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/philips-hue-bridge-2nd-generation-white/4684500.p?skuId=4684500

A bridge is a piece of hardware you connect to your router via an Ethernet cable. The bridge (also called a hub) is bought from Phillips and used to link all of your Phillips hue and friends of hue products to the network and app so they can all be set up and controlled. One bridge will control up to 50 (fact check this exact number) different light products. For comparison, I currently have one bridge which controls 3 light strips and 4 hue bloom lamps. I control them either via the hue app or my Google home(which links to the hue app)

It's a hub between the app and the light. App talks to hub and hub talks yo lights.

It's the hub that communicates with the lights. So you can control it from echo, Google home, apps, etc.

It's a device that connects your lights to your wifi so your phones and other smart devices can control it. Without the bridge the lights are just really expensive led bulbs

Bridge is a hardwware box which should be connected to wireless router via ethernet cable. Its for the managing the hue lights.
