Connect Multiple Philips Hue Bridges

When One Bridge Isn't Enough

A single Philips Hue Bridge supports up to 63 devices. That sounds like a lot — until you start counting. Each bulb, lightstrip, motion sensor, dimmer switch, and smart plug counts toward that limit. A large home can hit 63 faster than you'd expect.

And even if you're under the device limit, the Hue Bridge's Zigbee radio has a physical range. Separate buildings on the same property — a guest house, detached garage, or pool house — may be too far from a single bridge for reliable connectivity.

Seamless Bridge Switching

HueCommand manages each bridge independently and lets you switch between them with a single tap. Each bridge maintains its own rooms, scenes, devices, and settings — just as it does on the bridge itself.

When you switch bridges, HueCommand loads that bridge's complete configuration instantly. You control it exactly the same way you control a single bridge — same interface, same features, same experience.

Why Multi-Bridge?

Common reasons people use multiple Hue Bridges:

• Large homes with 50+ lights — exceeding or approaching the 63-device limit on a single bridge
• Separate buildings — main house + guest house, home + detached garage, house + pool house
• Zigbee mesh reliability — splitting a spread-out home into two smaller, more reliable Zigbee networks
• Office + home — managing your home setup and office setup from the same app
• Vacation property — controlling lights at a second home via remote access

Free Tier: One Bridge

HueCommand's free tier supports one Hue Bridge — which is enough for most homes. If you have a single bridge with fewer than 63 devices, you're covered at no cost.

All free features work with that single bridge: light control, scenes, effects, Siri integration, Apple Watch app, and more.

Pro: Unlimited Bridges

HueCommand Pro unlocks unlimited bridge connections. Add as many bridges as your setup requires — two, three, or more. Each bridge gets the full HueCommand experience including all Pro features like Day Planner, bridge backup, and remote access.

The Pro subscription also includes all other premium features. Multi-bridge is just one of many reasons to upgrade.
