Even after the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K appeared at an Italian retailer in July, there were still doubts in some parts of the community that the second generation would be available soon. After all, the first ‘leaks’ appeared well over a year ago, some of which were mistaken for a Photoshop fake.
The Philips Hue software team really can’t be accused of being idle this year. After numerous app updates, there is now a new firmware for the Hue Secure cameras with numerous improvements and bug fixes. One new feature sounds very promising, but I haven’t been able to try it out myself yet.
The Hue Secure products have been on the market for almost a year now. There have not yet been any official offers, but this is now changing. For the first time, the Hue Secure cameras are available at a lower price in the Philips Hue online shop – and an additional gift makes it particularly attractive.
At the end of July, I already provided you with some details about the Philips Hue Tento. In the meantime, I have been able to gather my own impressions of the upcoming ceiling light from Philips Hue. The new model aims to score points above all with its comparatively low price.
After Aurelle and Surimu, Philips Hue presented two more LED panels for the ceiling in June: Hue Tento and Hue Datura. I already shared a few words with you yesterday about the affordable Tento series, which will be available soon. Today we want to take a detailed look at the Philips Hue Datura, which I have already been able to install in my home.
In recent months, a new product from Philips Hue has not quite received the attention it deserves. It’s the Philips Hue Tento, a new series of ceiling lights from Philips Hue. The Tento series was presented for the first time in June and the market launch in the EU is now imminent.
The first images of the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K appeared online over a year ago. At the time, someone probably made a mistake and uploaded the product images of the new generation to the product page of the previous model. Since then, it has been quiet around the new Sync Box.
It’s Prime Day once again, and Amazon is selling technology and other products at bargain prices in all kinds of countries today. And of course Philips Hue is not to be missed. I’ve already looked around a bit for you and picked out the best deals for you from the most important countries.
The Hueblog readership also experienced the problem that I had to report on at the beginning of the week: dimmed Philips Hue lamps can suddenly light up with 100 per cent brightness. Signify, the manufacturer of Philips Hue, had pointed out an error in the communication with the smart home standard Matter.
Yesterday I already drew your attention to the latest update of the Philips Hue app. Version 5.21 brings some new features, including the ability to start sleep automation at the touch of a button on a Hue switch. But how exactly does this work and what do you need to bear in mind?
