Hueblog: Philips Hue is working on AI-generated scenes

Philips Hue is working on AI-generated scenes

Of course, this should not be missing

AI has become an integral part of the technology world and artificial intelligence now has a hand in many things. Perhaps soon in Philips Hue too? This is indeed conceivable, at least in part.

Philips Hue has been testing an AI Playground for some time now, which is designed to create a suitable light scene with a simple text command. “Create a scene for a children’s birthday party” or “Create a scene for a cosy breakfast” should provide the appropriate light settings.


When it is launched in the Hue app – unfortunately I don’t know the exact date – it will probably only have limited functionality at first. According to my information, the AI function will not yet be able to create its own scenes, but will only recommend suitable, existing scenes. You can then use commands such as ‘What is the best scene for a winter evening’ to get the right results.

iConnectHue has long been able to create scenes using AI

Philips Hue is definitely not inventing the wheel with a function like this, but rather jumping on a bandwagon. Stefan Göhler, the developer of the popular iConnectHue app, integrated an AI function back in March 2023.

In his app, the so-called ‘magic scenes’ can be easily created using artificial intelligence. Simply enter a description such as “holiday on the beach” or “party at the club” – and iConnectHue delivers the right colour combinations.

Incidentally, the developer has to pay for the AI intelligence, so you can only try it out three times without paying. If you want to use it beyond that, you have to pay for iConnectHue membership. In the Philips Hue app, this type of functionality should initially be offered free of charge.
