If you already own Philips Hue, you have everything you need to feel every flag of an F1 weekend. Race RGB connects to your Hue Bridge and drives your existing bulbs, strips and play bars in sync with the live race broadcast.
No new hardware, no soldering, no fiddly scripts. Connect once, pick the lights you want involved, and Race RGB handles the rest for every session of the season.
How it works with Philips Hue
Create your Race RGB account
Sign up and open Settings, then Light Control.
Connect your Hue Bridge
Press the button on your Hue Bridge to authorize Race RGB, the same one-tap pairing you use for the Hue app.
Pick your lights
Choose which Hue bulbs, strips or rooms should react to the flags. Leave the rest of your house alone.
Watch the race
Race RGB listens to the live timing feed and flashes your Hue lights the moment a flag changes on track.

Works with all Hue bulbs, light strips and play bars
One-tap Bridge pairing, no developer account needed

Note: A Philips Hue Bridge is required (the standard hub that connects Hue to your router).
Philips Hue F1 questions
Do I need a Hue Bridge?
Yes. Race RGB talks to your lights through the Philips Hue Bridge, the same hub the official Hue app uses. Bluetooth-only bulbs without a Bridge are not supported.
Does it work with the new race in real time?
Yes. Race RGB follows the live timing feed, so yellow, red, safety car, virtual safety car and chequered flags trigger your lights as they happen during the broadcast.
Can I choose which lights react?
Absolutely. You pick exactly which Hue bulbs, strips or rooms take part, so the rest of your home stays normal.
Will it mess up my normal Hue scenes?
No. Race RGB only controls your lights while a session is live, then hands them back. Your everyday scenes and automations are untouched.
