First, you'll want to go through the initial setup process on the Philips Hue mobile app to pair your Philips Hue-compatible lighting to a Philips Hue Bridge. After adding your home lighting, create at least one entertainment zone for the lights you wish to have available for CORSAIR iCUE to control.

Follow the steps to pair CORSAIR iCUE to your bridge.

Lighting Effects

Once paired to your Philips Hue Bridge, CORSAIR iCUE will pull the information it needs to drive any Entertainment Zones you've set up in the Philips Hue Mobile App, creating separate zones for each Entertainment Zone.

From here, all you need to do is add a lighting effect in the "Lighting Layers" panel and assign it to a zone (we recommend 1-2 lighting effects for best results per lighting zone). If you use multiple profiles in CORSAIR iCUE, make sure to go through each of them and set up your desired lighting effects for your Philips Hue ambient lights for each profile.

Wrapping Up

If you need to hand control of your Entertainment Zones back to your other smart home devices, go to the "Device Settings" tab and toggle off the setting for "Lighting Playback".
