New firmware update released

This is extremely rare, as the last software update for Philips Hue switches and motion sensors was in December 2024. Software versions 67.116.1, 2.85.1, and 2.85.5 are now being rolled out for all battery-powered accessory products.

Which one is your favourite?

Last September, Philips Hue introduced a total of seven new light strips. These are also available in different lengths, giving us a total of 21 different variants. It’s easy to lose track of them all. Especially since not all of the new Philips Hue light strips are available yet. Here in Europe, for example, the Hue Essential series is still missing, which is expected to be released together with the Flux accessories in the eighth calendar week – at least according to my latest information.
