Philips Hue has launched a new table lamp, the Hue Play, which is available now. Inevitably, one has to compare this new release with the Hue Gradient Signe, which has been available for quite some time. How do the two products differ, and what are the pros and cons of each table lamp?
Philips Hue unveiled several new wall switch modules on Tuesday – unfortunately only in Europe. Three of them are designed to integrate “simple” ceiling lights—without smart connectivity—into the Hue system. But couldn’t you just use a Shelly instead? After all, they’ve been on the market for much longer and cost just under half as much.

Although an official press release is still pending, the new Philips Hue products are available starting today. They are already listed in the official Philips Hue online store.

Last night, I ended up turning on Sports Live again. Our German team’s game was actually quite entertaining and, above all, full of goals—perfect for lighting effects in combination with Philips Hue lights. But what happens after the World Cup? So far, Sports Live has actually only been confirmed for the major tournament in Canada, Mexico, and the U.S.
Complaints are currently piling up online, not just in our small community, but also on Reddit and in App Store reviews. After the latest update to version 5.69, the Philips Hue app seems to regularly lose its connection to the Hue Bridge. What is currently known about this, and how can the issue be resolved?
Just in time for the upcoming start of the World Cup in Mexico, Canada, and the U.S., Philips Hue has released another update for its app. And for good reason: this update unlocks the new Sports Live feature. As previously explained in detail, you can use it to make your lights glow in sync with game events during the World Cup.
On Thursday at 9:00 p.m. German time, the moment has arrived: The first match of the World Cup kicks off. And that also marks the launch of a new and exclusive feature from Philips Hue. Sports Live will ensure that the lights in your living room light up in sync with game events, such as goals or yellow cards.
About a year and a half ago, I visited Signify, the manufacturer of Philips Hue, in Eindhoven. While there, I had the opportunity to experience the Lighting Application Center—and saw a truly impressive ceiling light: the Philips Skylight with NatureConnect technology. A ceiling light that looks like a skylight. Until now, this product was intended for professional settings, such as offices, lobbies, and medical practices.
Philips Hue will be launching several new products later this month. But as we all know, the year is still long, and Philips Hue’s biggest launch usually takes place in early September around the time of IFA in Berlin. Possibly including two new products that a Hueblog reader has now discovered in his Hue app.
The launch of the new Hue wall switch modules is just around the corner. My local hardware store has already confirmed the prices, and all five new products (including a two-pack) are already listed on a Swiss online store. Additionally, a small but not entirely insignificant piece of technical information has come to light.
