Hue app: Easier activation and deactivation of motion detectors

Update for the official app

Just a small side note from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. Yesterday, a little update was released for the official Philips Hue App, which brought back a small feature. This might be relevant for some users though.

From now on it is possible again to directly switch on and off individual motion detectors indoors and outdoors. This is available on the overview page of the accessory products linked to the Bridge.


This function already existed in the past, but was removed from the Hue app by the developers a few months ago. Therefore, it was obligatory to go to the details page of the respective motion sensor first to manually deactivate it and then reactivate it later. This little detour is no longer necessary.
