Philips Hue warranty for smart home
The short version
Philips Hue doesn't cover everything, but keeps energy star-certified products and whole product (hardware) covered to 3 years. That full coverage is shorter than most of the 18 brands we compared, which typically cover 1 year in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Philips Hue's published warranty, checked October 2026.
