Philips HUE HomeKit Upgrade Bridge (for Current HUE Bridge Users) £32.95 @ Apple
£32.95Apple Deals
The Philips HUE Bridge provides an upgrade from your existing HUE Bridge to one that's HomeKit enabled. The bridge lets you control all of your Hue products via the Hue app using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Once you have installed the Hue bridge and downloaded the app on your iOS device, you're ready to start building your own customised lighting system.
This actually does little other than introduce HomeKit integration for IOS users. The internals are slightly different, as is the hardware form factor.
It's a couple of quid more expensive than you will probably be able to get it for when stock is freely available, however, so far stock has been rubbish, and this is actually in stock... and... you don't seem to need to provide 'ID' for already owning the original bridge (which I do).
I'll probably get £30 or so for my old bridge, so other than a tiny bit of hassle, it's actually not too much of a problem to shuffle...

As well as the upgrade bridge their online store has virtually no hue products in stock!
Where to, please? The obvious auction site has been overrun with first gen bridges for an age now. They go for less than a tenner these days.
Aye, saw that, the going rate when I last looked was £25-30, £10-15 seems more like it now... never mind, I'll probably give it to a mate or parents.
£20 cash, free returns... £12.95 to effectively swap. HOTTTT.
Wowser cheers mate, just made the recent deal posted here even better.
Returning 8 x hubs to CEX for £160
Makes those non colour lux bulbs about £8 each after quidco.
CEXy times.
For starters, you need both powered on, and hooked up to the network...
No you don't. As long as Apple don't ask for proof you own one, which I can't see as they won't give a $ (they never did as part of the checkout procedure).
The hub will work with Apple or Android, no need for any additional hardware apart from the lights themselves.
Brilliant, thanks
