Community question of the week: Motion detector depending on presence Activating different scenes

Activating different scenes

With full-blown smart home systems, such a setting is probably no problem, but in the Hue universe, on the other hand, you come up against your limits. It’s about a question about the Philips Hue motion detector that Mike sent me by email: I’ve been searching the net for a few days and can’t find what I’m looking for.

Community Question of the Week: New lamps do not react to motion sensor Scenes must be saved again

Scenes must be saved again

I have already been asked this question several times, and I also discover it again and again in social networks or in the community. Manfred also had problems with the motion sensor in the same room after setting up new Hue lamps. I connected two new Hue White bulbs on the bridge and put them in an existing room with two other bulbs and a motion detector.

Use as a night light

Philips Hue is probably omnipresent in many of our homes. One or the other smart lamp is probably also installed in bedrooms and children’s rooms. And this is where a question from Hueblog reader Jovi comes into play. He emailed me: Which is the darkest Hue bulb in E14 format to regulate?

Hue Wall Switch Module: Switch between scenes faster Not only possible with pushbuttons

Not only possible with pushbuttons

In my opinion, the Hue Wall Switch Module is one of the best extensions for the Hue system. It not only solves the light switch problem, but can also be configured individually. In our (german) community there is a rather exciting question about this, which I would like to take care of for you today.

Community question of the week: Dual switching with Philips Hue Two smart switches with one ceiling light

Two smart switches with one ceiling light

Even though there are apps and voice assistants, in my opinion there is no way around smart switches for Philips Hue. It is simply incredibly practical to be able to control the light directly from the sofa or in passing. There’s one question I keep stumbling over, the most recent of which was posed by Marian in our Community section: I intend to use a smart ceiling light with the Friends of Hue switches from Senic.

Home Widget enables functional widgets for Philips Hue HomeKit app for Apple devices

HomeKit app for Apple devices

Since the launch of the new Hue app two years ago now, there has been one annoyance on iPhone and iPad: there are no more native widgets. The reason for this is the fact that Apple does not offer the homescreen widgets newly introduced with iOS 14 the possibility to perform an action without opening the associated app.

Only one colour instead of gradient

Years after the launch of the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box, it’s still a very popular feature of Philips’ Ambilight TVs: extending the TV’s backlighting to the whole room with Philips Hue bulbs. Hueblog reader Michael asked me a question about this topic: I bought the Gradient Lightstrip Ambiance and connected it to my Philips TV.

Matching colours for an existing Philips Hue scene Adjust the light to perfection

Adjust the light to perfection

When you select a scene from the Philips Hue Light Scene Gallery, there is a handy feature that allows you to remix the colours of the scene. But what if you want to adjust a scene afterwards? The normal way is via the room view. There, everyone would probably first set a new colour for the illuminant.
