How to Add a Sensor to My Philips Hue Hub

Your existing smart hub system must support Zigbee devices.

Due to the large number of different Zigbee control systems available, it will not be possible to give exact, step-by-step instructions. Rather, this guide will give you a general overview of what to look for to successfully add your Hue device to your existing hub.

Hue devices act just like any other Zigbee device you may already be using with your system.
