For me, the migration from one of my two old Hue Bridges to the new Hue Bridge Pro went smoothly. But that’s probably only because I didn’t pair my somewhat outdated Philips TV with Ambilight with Philips Hue. Because it is precisely this function that causes problems with the Hue Bridge Pro.
Some of you have already received the new Hue Bridge Pro, while others may still be considering purchasing it. After returning from Berlin, I took half an hour this morning to start transferring data from one of my old Hue Bridges to the new Hue Bridge Pro. I have summarized exactly how this worked in this short guide for you.
It was announced several months ago that Philips Hue was working on an adaptation of SpaceSense. The light bulbs from sister brand WiZ have been able to be used as motion sensors for some time now. With the new Hue MotionAware, this is now also possible with 95 percent of all Philips Hue lights.
Unsurprisingly, the Hue Bridge Pro has piqued your interest. After all, many of us have been hoping for an improved bridge with higher capacity and more power for years.

This issue is not entirely new and has been with us for several years. However, as the gardening season gets underway, I would like to draw your attention to the issue once again – and maybe the manufacturer will do something about it at some point. What exactly is it about?
The Philips Hue track system was launched almost three years ago and is now also available in other countries such as the USA. However, Philips Hue Perifo is definitely not cheap. This makes it all the more important to clarify any questions before you buy. A fairly basic question has arisen in our small Hueblog community today that I would like to answer.
In our small community forum, which we hope to pimp up a little in the first half of the year, Tomm asked a rather interesting question about the Philips Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip. Of course, I have the right answer for you, even if it’s unfortunately not positive.
