Firmware update directly after the update

Yesterday evening, Philips Hue released another update for its app, version 4.42 is now available for download.

After the update to version 4.40, it wasn’t worth writing a separate article because the new features weren’t visible at all. Only with the update to version 4.41 does Philips Hue show the latest products from the in-house portfolio in the Discover section of the Hue app. A change in the Hue app that can hardly be surpassed in terms of excitement.
