3. Add Your Lights
Once the bridge is connected, you can add your Hue lights to the app.

- Follow the instructions in the app to search for and add your lights.
4. Start Controlling Your Lights
Now that your lights are connected, you can control them through the app. You can:
- Turn your lights on and off.
- Adjust the brightness and color.
- Create custom scenes and routines.
- Control your lights with your voice using a compatible smart assistant.
