It is only through the numerous applications from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store that Philips Hue has become what it is today. Here you’ll find the best apps for your smart light.
Two weeks after the last update for the Philips Hue app, the next update is already available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. You can now download version 5.22 of the Hue app to your devices. The update is particularly interesting if you have Hue Secure cameras in use.
With the latest update to version 5.21, Philips Hue has not only introduced some scenes, but also new functions. I have already explained how you can start sleep automation at the touch of a button. Another new feature is the option to hide rooms and zones on the start page.
Yesterday I already drew your attention to the latest update of the Philips Hue app. Version 5.21 brings some new features, including the ability to start sleep automation at the touch of a button on a Hue switch. But how exactly does this work and what do you need to bear in mind?
Once again, there is a new update for the Philips Hue app. Version 5.20 has been skipped, instead you can now download version 5.21 from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. I will be presenting some of the new functions to you in detail in the coming days, but today there is a brief overview of the new features.
You’ve already heard about it: Signify, the manufacturer of Philips Hue, has joined the Mercedes Formula 1 team as a sponsor. The first race weekend in Silverstone went straight to plan: after a long dry spell, Lewis Hamilton took his first win in over two years at his home race of all places.
Hue Labs, the former beta environment within the Philips Hue app, is now history. Almost all the functions that were previously only available exclusively there have already been integrated into the Hue app. Since the last update, motion sensors can also be grouped directly in the Hue app. I explain exactly how this works in this article.
On Tuesday, Philips Hue not only launched new products on the market, but also a new software version. Version 5.19 of the Hue app is now available to download and offers several new features. One of these is Smart Scene Mapping, which is explained as follows in the update description: Every time you set a scene from the scene gallery, it’s now mapped to the lights in the space and what they’re used for.
Philips Hue has released another update for the official app in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, which brings some interesting new features. Among other things, sensors can now be grouped together – a function that was previously only available in Hue Labs. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to try out the features of the new version myself.
Back in April, I gave you a first preview of the next major update of iConnectHue (App Store link). From today, version 5.5 of the popular app for iPhone and iPad can be downloaded. And of course the new widgets for the home screen and lock screen are part of this update.
One week after the surprising update with the new compact view, Philips Hue is already delivering the next update. Version 5.18.0 of the official app can now be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. However, there do not appear to be any major new features this time.
