I am filing a complaint against Signify (Philips Lighting) for selling Hue security cameras that do not function as advertised, particularly when it matters mostduring incidents of package theft.Over the past year, I have experienced multiple instances of packages being stolen from my doorstep, and despite having Hue security cameras installed and active, the system failed to record any footage of the incidents. These failures occurred despite proper setup, good lighting, a clear view of the area, and a stable internet connection. In one case, I even received delivery confirmation emails with photos proving the package was dropped off, yet the Hue cameras captured no motion or video at the time of theft.The product is marketed and sold as a home security solution designed to provide peace of mind and capture critical footage during security incidents. However, these cameras have consistently failed at their most basic and essential functiondetecting and recording activity in real time.I contacted customer support, but the responses have been generic, with no resolution offered beyond basic troubleshooting that had already been attempted. I have lost property, time, and trust in a product that was positioned as reliable security equipment.I believe this product is being misrepresented and does not meet the standards expected of consumer-grade security equipment. Selling a security camera that routinely fails to record critical events is unacceptable and possibly deceptive.Initial Complaint

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding ongoing issues with Philips Hue light strips and the automation features, as well as the lack of response from their customer service team despite multiple requests for assistance.
Details of the Issue:
• Products Involved: Philips Hue Light Strips and the Philips Hue app automation programs.
• Issues Encountered:
1. Light Strips Breaking: All of the Philips Hue light strips I purchased have stopped functioning, and I have been unable to resolve the issue despite troubleshooting and reaching out for support.
2. Automation Programs Not Working: The automation feature for turning lights on and off only works for some lights, some of the time, even though the configurations in the Philips Hue app are correct. This inconsistency has made the products unreliable for their intended purpose.
Attempts to Resolve:
• I reached out to Philips Hue customer service through email and online forms to report the problems and seek assistance. Despite following up multiple times, I have not received a reply or any assistance with these issues.
Impact:
The lack of response from Philips Hue customer service has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. These issues have rendered the light strips and automation features unreliable and essentially useless. Given the high cost of Philips Hue products and the expectation of quality, I feel this situation is unacceptable.
Desired Resolution:
I am requesting the following:
1. Replacement of the defective light strips.
2. Assistance in resolving the issues with the automation programs to ensure they function properly.
3. A response from Philips Hue customer service acknowledging these issues and committing to improved support in the future.
I trust that the Better Business Bureau can help bring this matter to Philips Hue’s attention and facilitate a resolution. Thank you for your time and assistance.
Sincerely,
******Business Response

I purchased a Hue lightstrip on November 21st that was DOA, and have experienced some of the worst customer service in my lifetime just trying to receive a working product. Some highlights below:- device was purchased directly through the Philips Hue website, but I was asked for numerous pieces of supporting evidence (model, receipt, etc) that they should already have access to simply by looking up my order. - After sending a photo of my unit I was basically accused of lying about the type of product that I received DOA. I had to prove that I wasn't by sending additional pictures of my setup and the box that it shipped in. Again, the type of device I purchased should have been easily accessible by Philips by just looking up the order that I placed directly on their site. - At this point it was days after my ticket was opened, I was extremely frustrated and called to try and get this handled over the phone. I was assured that aid be receiving an advanced replacement and that I would receive an update by the following morning. - no update was received the following morning. I gave them until the end of the business day And called back again only to be told that apparently whoever I spoke to the previous day did not document any of our discussion. I had to repeat the process of requesting an advanced replacement and this time it was apparently approved. I was told tracking was being generated and that I would receive an update once it was available. - I waited two days, still no tracking number. I called Philips back, and they confirmed that while the replacement was approved, it could take 2-4 days to generate a tracking number and ship. Over the course of 4 days i spent multiple hours just trying to get this vendor to honor a replacement for a DOA device. And when they finally committed to this simple task they couldn't even be bothered to ship it in a reasonable amount of time. For a product of this cost, this is unacceptable.Business Response
