FabianOnce again, there is a new update for the Philips Hue app. Version 5.20 has been skipped, instead you can now download version 5.21 from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. I will be presenting some of the new functions to you in detail in the coming days, but today there is a brief overview of the new features.
Included in the update description are the seven new Race Day scenes, which were created on the occasion of the cooperation between Signify and the Mercedes Formula 1 team. I already presented the scenes to you in a separate article on Monday.
There is also another addition to the Hue light scene gallery. There is a new “Daily” category with six new scenes. These are the new scenes that have been specially developed for the Hue Twilight bedside lamp. Now you can also use them easily with other light sources.
