Now also in the Android version

With the introduction of version 5.12, Philips Hue has made a small change to the start page of its app, which you may have already noticed.

Nothing new for Android

It's time again for some updates from the world of Philips Hue. However, I can already tell you that it's not going to be spectacular, as there are probably no new functions.

Control light from the home screen

It's been a few years since Philips Hue removed the widgets from its iPhone app, but back then they weren't on the home screen anyway.
