Yesterday, I made my way to Frankfurt. It’s not necessarily the trade fair that’s at the top of my list, as I prefer devices that are easy to install with a plug. However, I had some interesting appointments at the fair and also stopped by Signify, the manufacturer of Philips Hue.
Philips Hue has just released version 5.62.0 of its in-house app in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. I couldn’t see any major new features; it seems that only the function described in the update description has been added. “You can now set the orientation of your Gradient lights.
Spring is slowly returning to Germany, and perhaps it will get a little warmer where you are this week too. It’s about time to get the garden back in shape. If you don’t want to do without smart lighting, Philips Hue now has just the right promotion in store for you.
Hueblog readers in the US have had to wait a long time for the new Philips Hue Flux light strips. When it was unveiled in September, Philips Hue announced that the new all-rounder would not be available in the US until March 2026. And now the time has finally come – even if not all variants are available yet.
While we are still in the dark about the latest firmware update for some selected Hue bulbs, Philips Hue has published new information on its website about an update for Hue Secure cameras. Software version 1.3.1.129080 is now available for download and will, in the best case, be automatically loaded onto your devices.
We’ve been waiting a long time for this, but now the accessories for the Hue Flux light strip are finally available. We were particularly excited about the flexible connector, which can be used to bridge ‘dark’ sections with a length of 50 centimetres. But what if your installation requires significantly smaller or larger distances?
With Hue Flux, Philips Hue has added a new light strip to its portfolio that can be customised.

Officially, this special light strip can only be separated at the designated markings every 12.5 centimetres.

The long-awaited accessories for the Hue Flux light strip have finally been available for a few days now in Europe. You’ve been waiting especially for the corner connectors and flexible connectors. These are, of course, only compatible with the Hue Flux Lightstrip and the Hue Flux Ultra Bright. But what about the five-metre extension cable?
Philips Hue has been offering a number of replacement parts for just over a year. These are primarily parts that can be easily replaced by the user, such as external power supplies or mounts for light strips. In the event of ‘genuine’ defects in the LED units, there is still no real recourse outside of the warranty.
It’s been quite a while since Philips Hue introduced the improved Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K for €349.99. The improved model was launched in September 2024. The 8K version is particularly useful for gamers who want to use 4K at 120 hertz. However, since 8K and a frame rate of more than 60 hertz don’t really play a big role in the normal world, the expensive Hue Sync Box is almost a niche product.
