I don’t get it. They’re colored lights. I think of my self as a pretty tech-savvy GenXer, and I’m kind of a lighting geek, but I can’t for the life of me figure out why I would want a lamp to be a particular color (other than 2800/3000/3200K) .

Note: I have 95CRI 3200K LED lighting in my kitchen and office where I spend most of my time and I have Caseta programmable/networked lights in the house. I’ve never felt the need to actually use the networking feature. What am I missing with Hue?

    I would guess most users would say the color features are something like “a nice thing to have, even if I don’t use it all the time”.

    I don’t have any hue bulbs, but the few smart bulbs I have are used pretty much like normal bulbs. But things like dimming in otherwise non-dimming fixtures or changing the color on an exterior light for holidays or whatever are neat things that come up occasionally.

    The networking stuff has been a desired thing for me to delve more thoroughly in, but hasn’t happened it (auto lights for the house when coming/going, settings for different activities like movie nights or game nights, flashing lights for alarms/timers on things like laundry or doorbells).
