A rechargeable, cordless Hue lamp that earns its place as a bedside or shelf light you can carry from room to room. The attraction is that it behaves like any other Hue light in Home Assistant, but it does not need a socket beside it. The trade-off is brightness: it is a mood lamp, not a task lamp, so do not expect it to replace a proper desk light. Pricing is steep for what it is and varies between sellers, so compare before you buy.
What can Home Assistant control on the Philips Hue Go Portable Table Lamp?
Hue lights reach Home Assistant through the Hue Bridge and the core Hue integration, which is local; you can also pair Hue Zigbee devices to a Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA coordinator, but you lose Bridge-only features.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the Philips Hue Go Portable Table Lamp work with Home Assistant locally?
- Yes. The Philips Hue Go Portable Table Lamp is controlled locally in Home Assistant through a built-in Home Assistant core integration (hue), so it keeps working if your internet connection or the Philips Hue cloud goes down. Control and state updates stay on your own network.
- Which protocol does the Philips Hue Go Portable Table Lamp use, and do I need a hub?
- The Philips Hue Go Portable Table Lamp uses Zigbee and Bluetooth. To pair it with Home Assistant you need a Zigbee coordinator (for example a SkyConnect/ZBT-1 or Sonoff dongle) attached to your Home Assistant host; or a Bluetooth adapter on your Home Assistant host or an ESPHome Bluetooth proxy. Philips Hue's own hub is not required when you integrate through a built-in Home Assistant core integration (hue).
