According to our switch for smart lights expert
With the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box, you can pair your Philips Hue Smart Lights to all your media devices. This way, the connected lights light up in the color that your television displays. For example, let the lights change color to match your favorite movie. Or immerse yourself in a game while the smart lights display the colors of the battlefield. You can also link the box to music. That's useful during a house party. The Hue Play Sync Box has 4 HDMI connectors to connect devices such as a TV receiver, Blu-ray player, or game console to. In the Philips Hue app, you can easily install everything and personalize your lighting. You can even pair the Sync Box with voice assistants such as Google Assistant or Alexa. This way, you easily control everything with your voice. Want to control the Sync Box? Use a Hue Bridge.

I love the experience. Really. But to be honest I am considering returning. I want to be able to sync my TV with the box. But it only works as an intermediary between, for example, your game computer, chrome cast, etc. and the TV. But I can't watch netflix or TV just on my TV itself in combination with the box. So yes... then I might as well use the app and buy 250 euros of beer at the bar if the pubs ever open again.

Skeptical because of many complaints about switching sources when connected directly to the TV. But works perfectly in combination with a receiver!
I use a separate receiver for the sound and the other connected equipment. In my case, nothing is connected directly to the TV. The sync box works perfectly this way.
You connect the sync box to the HDMI out of your receiver (output of the cable that runs to your TV) with the supplied cable. Then you stop the hdmi cable that came from your TV (and you have now disconnected in hdmi 2 or 4 of the syncbox these port(s) support dolby vision etc)
Now you can switch sources with remote control on your receiver.
This works perfectly for me. Xbox one, PS4, Blu-ray player, and set-top box (ziggo) all work perfectly.
Via the sync app you indicate which lamps you want to play with. You can also choose movies or games etc. And control the strength and intensity in the app.
Dolby atmos / vision, hdr and hdr 10 plus work perfectly.
Do you want light effects with Netflix? Then start Netflix via, for example, the Xbox or PS4, then you also have light effects there.
In combination with the new Philips gradient LED strip, it is a pleasure. And certainly an extra experience, especially with movies and games.
