I’ve been waiting for this new product for years and have repeatedly bombarded Hue inventor George Yianni with questions. The next time I meet him, I’ll definitely have to come up with some new questions, because the Hue Bridge Pro is finally coming to market. With support for 150 lights and 50 accessories, as well as significantly more power.
I have already reported on the performance data of the Hue Bridge Pro, which is expected in September. The significantly more powerful bridge should be able to work with 150 lights and 50 accessories. The previous Hue Bridge was officially designed for 50 lights and 12 accessories, but slightly exceeding these numbers was not a problem until now.

On its own “leaked” website, Philips Hue has already announced that new lightstrips are on the way. “Our new family of indoor and outdoor strip lights are brighter, bolder, and better than ever”, wrote the manufacturer. I can already tell you that there will be several new lightstrips. I can show you one of them today: the new Hue Outdoor Gradient Lightstrip.
Philips Hue itself has caused the biggest leak in recent years: numerous products that were supposed to be unveiled in September appeared on the Hue website overnight. I now have further information about the Hue Bridge Pro, the upcoming control center from Philips Hue, discovered by SmartLights. The cover photo of this article already shows you the greatly improved performance data of the new Hue Bridge Pro.
A few days ago, I was still gathering rumors, but now Philips Hue has revealed numerous new products itself—on its own website. The highlight is undoubtedly the new Hue Bridge Pro, which offers numerous improvements—and a design with two small LEDs. “Our most advanced smart home hub is faster, has more capacity, and unlocks more features than ever before,” writes Philips Hue about the new Hue Bridge Pro.
Philips Hue has invited guests to a major media event in Berlin on September 3. Numerous tech journalists will be in town during the IFA trade show and will find out what new products Philips Hue is bringing to market away from the exhibition. I have summarized all the rumors for you and venture a small preview of what could be coming in September.
Back in July, I introduced you to the Philips Hue Linear Gradient, a light strip designed for installation in the kitchen. Currently, you can’t buy it separately, but only together with a Nobilia kitchen. I would like to reiterate at this point that I had the solution retrofitted in my home.
It’s not entirely unlikely that a well-equipped smart home with Philips Hue lighting will also feature Sonos speakers. After all, Sonos is the market leader when it comes to smart control and multi-room functionality. As I have now learned, the two manufacturers are set to join forces soon – at least when it comes to voice control.
Back in June, around the time of the release of the new Philips Hue Play Wall Washer, I noticed that Philips Hue had a new logo. The licensed manufacturer name “Philips” has been moved slightly into the background, with the focus now more on the brand name “Hue.” And not just on the packaging, but also on the Philips Hue website.
Before Philips Hue hopefully delivers new hardware in September – at least there is already a new icon for a Hue Bridge – let’s take another close look at the new Philips Hue Devote. But how does this ceiling light differ from the already familiar Philips Hue Tento? I’d like to show you in detail today.
