You can add as many Hue lights as you like, and so could in theory have an LED strip or two on the back of the TV, or the new Gradient Light Strips, and various lamps throughout the room. In our setup we have a pair of Hue Play light bars pointing at the wall behind the TV.

Knowing this will help the system decide exactly how to adjust each light.

You can also tell the app if each light is on the floor, at TV height, or in the ceiling. This lets you pick which Hue lights you want to be controlled by the Sync Box, and tell the app exactly where they are positioned in relation to the TV and your sofa. Once you have everything connected the way you want, it's time to open the Hue smartphone app, add the box as an accessory, and follow the instructions to create an entertainment zone.
HUE SYNC NOT CONNECTING UPDATE
But because the Hue Sync Box can handle Dolby Atmos, HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision, these formats all remain intact when they reach your screen and speakers.Ĭompatibility for HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision (plus voice control through Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant) was added via a software update in May 2020.

We can't provide a comprehensive guide on which option is best, as that will depend on your TV, sound bar and what devices you have. You can plug everything into your sound bar or receiver, then plug that on its own into the Hue Sync Box, or connect everything to the box and plug the sound bar into your TV's ARC-compatible HDMI socket. If you have a sound bar or AV receiver, setting things up gets more complicated, but not impossible. Plug all of your devices, like your game console, streaming stick and satellite box, into the former, then connect the box to your TV with the latter, using the included HDMI cable. The Hue Sync Box has four HDMI inputs and one output. It requires the Hue Bridge (if you don't have one already), which connects to your router and acts as a control unit for all Hue lighting in your home.
