Like the following question about colour temperatures: When configuring White Ambiance bulbs, is it possible to set the colour temperature in Kelvin, or at least read out the value set “in the colour wheel” in Kelvin?

How to clean up faster

You may be about to do some digital spring cleaning – and of course Philips Hue should not be forgotten. If you want to clear your rooms of unused scenes, I have a little tip for you. Instead of selecting each scene, then tapping the edit arrow and deleting the individual scene, there is now a much quicker way to remove several scenes from a room at the same time in the Hue app.

For the first time with the new Hue Dymera

On Tuesday, Philips Hue unveiled some smaller innovations for the start of 2024. These include the Philips Hue Dymera wall light, designed for indoor and outdoor use, which can shine upwards and downwards in different colours.

Nothing works without HomePod or Apple TV

Apple introduced a new HomeKit architecture this year with iOS 16.4. Apart from the fact that the iPad can no longer be used as a home hub, not much has changed in terms of handling the system.

No chance of a stylish look

The Philips Hue Lightguide series was launched just over a year ago – if you can call it that. The Globe and Triangular versions were quickly discontinued due to quality problems, leaving only the Ellipse.

In use at our children's bedside

The Philips Hue Play Gradient Light Tube is actually intended for installation under a TV that is already equipped with a Play Gradient Light Strip on the other three sides. However, the smart tube is versatile and also cuts a fine figure in the bedroom, for example. We've been using it in our son's nursery since we switched to a new bed (again).
