Philips’s created a light bulb, called Hue, that allows customers to control from a smartphone. With the Web-enabled Hue, you can set its brightness or change the bulbs color. Hue has already been a big hit with software developers who have been hacking the system and creating apps of their own. Some of them allow users to sync the lights to music. Others let users set the lights to coordinate with the colors in a scene on television using a smartphone camera, creating kind of a surround-lighting experience.
