Make your Philips Hue lights flash when your team scores

Touchdowns, goals, runs and baskets: when a team you follow scores, your Philips Hue lights flash in that team's colors. illumiscore watches every game for you.

Set up your Philips Hue lights free

Free for one light and one team. No card needed.

How it works with Philips Hue

illumiscore talks to your lights through Hue's cloud, after you sign in to Hue and allow it. Nothing to paste and nothing to install: your Hue Bridge does the rest.

Hue lights switch between your team's two colors for about 16 seconds (longer when your team wins), using the bridge's own built-in signal, then go back exactly how they were, on or off, by themselves.

Works

  • Philips Hue color bulbs, lightstrips, lamps and spots on a Hue Bridge
  • Lights set up in the Hue app, including ones you also use in Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa

Doesn't work

  • White-only Hue bulbs (they can't show team colors)
  • Hue lights used only over Bluetooth, with no Hue Bridge

Connect Philips Hue in a few minutes

  1. Set up your lights in the Hue app

    Your Hue lights need a Hue Bridge, set up in the Philips Hue app and signed in to a Hue account (Settings → Hue account). Give each light a name; those names show up in illumiscore.

  2. Press Connect Philips Hue

    Open Your lights and press Connect Philips Hue in step 1. Hue's own sign-in page opens.

  3. Sign in and allow illumiscore

    Sign in with your Hue account and choose Allow. There's no password or key to paste into illumiscore.

  4. Pick your lights

    You come straight back to your dashboard, and your Hue color lights appear in step 2, next to any LIFX or Govee lights.

Good to know

Which Philips Hue lights work?
Philips Hue color bulbs, lightstrips, lamps and spots on a Hue Bridge. Lights set up in the Hue app, including ones you also use in Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa.
Which teams?
975 teams in 24 leagues, including NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, WNBA and MLS, college sports and soccer. Follow one team free.
Will they flash before I see it on TV?
They can: scores come from public scoreboards, and streams often run 30 seconds or more behind. Give each light a TV delay (up to 60 seconds) and it waits, so the flash lands with your broadcast.
Do I need a Hue Bridge?
Yes. illumiscore reaches your lights through Hue's cloud, and that goes through your Hue Bridge. Lights paired to your phone by Bluetooth only can't be reached.
Is my Hue account safe?
illumiscore never sees your Hue password: you sign in on Hue's own page and allow illumiscore. We keep only the access Hue gives us, encrypted. Disconnect it from your dashboard, or remove illumiscore in your Hue account, any time.
What about a scene that's on?
The flash runs on top of it, and when it ends the bridge puts each light back the way it was.
Is this the same as Hue's Sports Live?
No. Sports Live is Hue's own feature for soccer. illumiscore is a separate service that also covers the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, college sports and more, and works with LIFX and Govee lights too.
What does it cost?
Free for one light and one team, no card needed. Paid plans add more lights and more teams, from $4 a month or $29 a year.
Is this made by Philips Hue?
No. illumiscore is made by Thompson SWE LLC and isn't affiliated with Philips Hue, any league or team, or ESPN.
