Would love to try and have the Phillips Hue system in the house. Would be looking to put in the lounge and would be useful for movie nights. Currently have one smart light only from lifx and would love to expand.
My comments and remarks are my own and are not necessarily of my employer past, current or future.

I use home assistant for home automation, but I haven't done many lights yet. I'd love to give this set a try.
Here's an example of a thermostat that I have automated using home assistant.

I'd give the lights to my mother so that she can turn on some lights without getting up from the chair (she's still recovering from a hip replacement) . Would be handy to turn on the lights from a chromecast remote if possible Failing that, some sort of automation.
This will be the lifeline of our household, the one thing standing between morning chaos and sweet, uninterrupted sanity.
Nestled in my son's room, the Ambience light takes on the noble quest of prying him from his slumber and ushering him into a new day—hopefully on time for school. It begins with kindness: a soft, welcoming glow, gently coaxing him from his dreams like a golden sunrise, as if he were the protagonist in a heartwarming Disney movie.
For a few blissful minutes, he will soak in its warm hues. But patience, much like mine, is a finite resource. The light will not remain benevolent for long.
Enter the bulbs, stationed like watchful guardians in the two bedside lamps. Should he refuse the call of the golden morning, the sentinels will be activated—flaring to life with two angry red flashes, pulsing like ominous warning signals. A wise child—one who, on occasion, may find himself lacking such wisdom—will recognize the urgency. Delay is dangerous. Ignoring these lights is an invitation for a greater force: the parent.
Our hope? That this vivid morning spectacle will tame the daily battle (especially in the gloomy months of winter) and restore peace with its shimmering gold, sparing us all from unnecessary morning warfare.
My oldest child and I just completed building their very first PC together using second-hand parts.
If we won the Philips Hue kit, I'd add it into our home automation so that they could use a voice command to turn on the PC and setup their RGB lighting all with a single command!
