In the past, we have seen people use SiriProxy to lock / unlock and even start a car as well as to fully control a television. Similarly, Siri controlled apps for iPhone and iPad have also appeared on the App store. Now, Brandon has demonstrated how the plugin can be used to control Philips Hue lights.

Here are a few examples of available commands:

Turn off all the lights
Turn on the bedroom light
Turn up the kitchen
Set the hallway to 20%
Set the bedroom to light blue (colors not implemented yet)
Make it look like a sunset (scenes not implemented yet)

You can follow these instructions to try this out for your self. Meanwhile, check out the following video demo:
