The hope/thought was that the smart doorbell and smart lighting would work together. So if someone rings the bell that, for example, the hallway and outdoor lamp come on. Unfortunately... two beautiful products but they just don't work together. Yes, when the bell rings you can flash the HUE lights. Have we not even considered such an epileptic source...
Installation HUE is very simple and is, well, a HUE. Read more about what you can do with it. Other than connecting to the Gigaset... The disadvantage of each starter set is that you only get one controller. It's your phone or not it seems. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but a decent switch is still my favorite. So for now this one still lives next to my old trusty click-on-click-off set.
The camera was not really nice to install. The wiring is still manageable if you are a bit handy and can read schematics. Otherwise, don't start if you want to keep your own bell and have to intervene in the existing wiring... Then the drama started, the link via the app does not go very smoothly. The problem turned out to be the mesh network, even with only one router on and specifically on 2.4GHz still problems. So the wifi of the KPN modem but added. That actually solved the problem right away.
Price-wise, this is a fantastic offer, but why these two systems are in one sale remains a mystery. There is hardly any synergy to be discovered.

After having had a doorbell from a Chinese brand, now one from a European brand. Gigaset telephones are also very good, so I bought the Gigaset. Important to me were wired, integration with Philips Hue, use of existing doorbell functionality and European Cloud. I did replace the existing doorbell with one they had tested with as my own existing doorbell kept buzzing slightly. After installation, I couldn't manage the Hue integration with the doorbell. No option in the Elements app for the motion detector, but not for the doorbell camera. However, there is a Home Connect + app with which you can integrate many European brands such as Siemens, Hue, Gigaset. This allows you to switch the lights when someone passes the doorbell or when someone rings the doorbell. I am still testing the cloud functionality that you need for video recording. It seems that with the 0.99 cent subscription per month you can only record indoors or outdoors only, but not both at the same time. It seems to go by camera and not by Giga alarm system

Purchased this doorbell based on the good quality that they deliver on telephony and that they host from Germany. I had some trouble with the Hue integration, but after searching for a while I found the Home Connect + app which offers good options. The Elements app does have Hue integration, but not for the doorbell Good product and the right quality-price ratio in combination with the Hue starter set
