Once again, Philips Hue’s attempt at secrecy didn’t really work out. After the Philips Hue Wall Light Module for Nanoleaf Shapes appeared at Home Depot in Canada earlier this week, Philips Hue has now posted a complete support page on its own website dedicated to Nanoleaf integration. And there we find some exciting information.
Philips Hue already revealed the name a few weeks ago, and now there are many more details about the Philips Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip Pro. The specifications have appeared in the support section of the Philips Hue website and provide us with numerous insights even before the official launch. First off, the most exciting news: The Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip Pro actually uses OmniGlow technology, which we’re already familiar with from the Hue OmniGlow lightstrip.
It seems almost certain that Philips Hue will unveil new products this coming Thursday. Some details have already leaked, and most recently, a AMA session with Hue creator George Yianni was announced for this very Thursday. The control hubs are also already being prepared for the launch of the new products.
Philips Hue has announced an “Ask Me Anything” session with George Yianni on Reddit. The Hue inventor will answer questions from the community on Thursday from 5:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. German time (9 a.m. EST). You can find the official announcement on Reddit via this link. “He’ll answer our questions and share exclusive information about the latest Hue products.
As early as next week, Philips Hue will introduce a small adapter for Nanoleaf panels to integrate them into the Hue app. However, the focus will be on the newer Nanoleaf Shapes models: Triangle, Mini Triangle, and Hexagons. Independent developer Stefan Göhler takes it a step further with his app, iConnectHue.
A few weeks ago, Philips Hue scored a classic own goal when brief and concise product descriptions for three new Philips Hue Festavia models—along with an image—were published on its own website. Now, Obi.ch is providing us with further details on the new Festavia models. Three new versions of the Hue Festavia are in the works, two of which are already listed on Obi.ch
The list of products we’re expecting from Philips Hue this fall just keeps getting longer. After discovering details this week about the new Nanoleaf module and the new kitchen lighting, we’re now moving on to a slightly modified light strip. The Hue OmniGlow Lightstrip will soon be available for outdoor use as well.
And the new products from Philips Hue keep coming. After the recent leak of the new Hue Wall Light Module for Nanoleaf’s smart LED panels, the focus now shifts to the kitchen. Two years ago, Philips Hue launched a partnership with the German kitchen manufacturer Nobilia. Now it appears that these products are also making their way to the open market.
About a week before the next product launch, more details are leaking online. A hexagon icon was spotted in the Philips Hue app a few weeks ago, and now there are more details: A Philips Hue Wall Light Module is set to launch, allowing users to connect Nanoleaf’s well-known LED modules to the Hue app.
Yesterday I skipped my little weekly Hue recap because I wanted to enjoy my Formula 1 trip to Zandvoort to the fullest. Unfortunately, things didn’t quite work out with Max, but I have the next new product for you today: I spotted the Hue Play Sync Box Lite on social media as early as last night.
