There is yet another new update for iConnectHue, probably the most comprehensive app for configuring the Philips Hue system. With version 5.9, German developer Stefan Göhler delivers a new switch editor that makes the selection of available actions for a button press even clearer. “Our switch editor has been given a glow-up,” the developer tells us.
This issue is not entirely new and has been with us for several years. However, as the gardening season gets underway, I would like to draw your attention to the issue once again – and maybe the manufacturer will do something about it at some point. What exactly is it about?
I’ll make this short and sweet at this late hour: an update for the Philips Hue app is available to download from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. However, version 5.40.0 does not bring any new functions or significant changes. The update description simply states: “Various bug fixes and stability improvements.”
Today I have a little tip for you from the Apple App Store, because you can currently get the Hue Party for Philips Hue app for free. To be more precise, the download itself is free anyway, but you can currently unlock the full version within the app for free. Why and why?
Not a day goes by without questions in my inbox or in the small Hueblog community. With this e-mail from Philip, I would like to draw your attention to a topic that I am sure many of you are interested in: The backup function, which has been in development for quite some time, but has never been officially announced until now.
Philips Hue has now been on the market for more than ten years and the first-generation lamps are still working. Since then, some products have disappeared from the market or have been replaced by newer versions, such as the Hue Tap switch. However, there are still some “dusty” products that are still being sold.
The Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K has now been on the market for around six months and is particularly pleasing to console fans, who can now finally use 120 hertz at a 4K resolution. I don’t use a Hue Sync Box myself, but in recent weeks I have repeatedly read on social media about problems with it suddenly switching off.
On an unusual Thursday for Hue, another update for the official app is available for download in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. You can now download Philips Hue 5.39. The new features are limited this time, but for the first time in a long time there are “finally” new scenes.
After giving you a first look at the new Philips Hue Secure doorbell back in March, we now have a first impression of two more upcoming Philips Hue products. The manufacturer is preparing two new versions of the popular Hue Go for launch. It starts with the Philips Hue-ge Go, which you can see above in the unfortunately not really high-resolution cover picture.
Philips Hue has never done anything like this before and I’m a little surprised by the promotion myself. In the official store, you can currently get 25% off all items without exception using the voucher code HUE-FLASHSALE25. The voucher even works with already reduced products, such as the Hue Secure cameras from the security deals, as well as with exclusive products.
