Pairing Razer Synapse with a Philips Hue Bridge
Before proceeding, make sure your Philips Hue Bridge has been set up on your network via the
Philips Hue app and that your PC is connected to the same network.
Pairing your Philips Hue bridge with Razer Synapse must first be done before you dive in and
configure your Philips Hue smart lights via Razer Synapse.
Automatic pairing
If you haven’t paired Razer Synapse with a Philips Hue bridge yet, the Philips Hue module will prompt
you to pair Razer Synapse with the Philips Hue bridge on your network. Simply follow the on-screen
instructions to scan and pair your bridge with Razer Synapse.

To find the IP address of your Philips Hue bridge, launch the Philips Hue app and go to Settings >
My Hue System >Hue Bridge > IP-address.
