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.
Just one week after the last update, a new version of the Philips Hue app is available for download. The update to version 5.65.0 is already available on the Google Play Store, and it should arrive on the Apple App Store today or in the coming days. And once again, Philips Hue isn’t revealing all the details in the official update description.
After a short Easter break, Philips Hue released its next update this week. Version 5.64.2 of the in-house app has been available for download on the Google Play Store since yesterday and on the Apple App Store since today. Aside from the usual under-the-hood improvements, the only new feature is a small function that allows you to remix the colors in previously saved scenes.
Just a few days ago, I came across a question on social media asking about Easter scenes in the Philips Hue app. Unfortunately, our favorite lighting manufacturer can’t provide those, but at least there are now eight refreshing scenes in the “Spring Breeze” category in the Hue app, which you can find right at the top of the Hue Light Scenes gallery.
Some time ago, Philips Hue added a search function to the home screen of its app. Using a magnifying glass icon in the lower-right corner of the screen, you can quickly search for lights, rooms, or scenes. This small icon has since evolved into the Hue AI Assistant, but personally, I hardly ever use it either.
Philips Hue has just released version 5.62.0 of its in-house app in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. I couldn’t see any major new features; it seems that only the function described in the update description has been added. “You can now set the orientation of your Gradient lights.
With version 5.60.1 of the Hue app, Philips Hue has introduced far more new features than officially announced. I have already reported on the multilingual Hue AI Assistant, the new features for the doorbell, and the customized room view. Now, Hueblog reader David has brought a small detail to my attention: a shopping cart icon has appeared on the Hue app’s home screen, to the right of the main switch for the entire home.
At the beginning of the year, Philips Hue announced several software innovations at CES in Las Vegas. First and foremost, of course, is the new SpatialAware, which we will have to wait a few more weeks for. Philips Hue has already implemented other announcements, such as the availability of the Hue AI assistant in additional languages.
Philips Hue announced it at the beginning of the year, and with today’s update, it’s finally here. The Hue AI Assistant is now available not only in English, but also in German, Spanish, and Dutch. After updating the app and possibly updating your Hue Bridge (Pro), you can get started right away.
Philips Hue usually releases updates for its app every two weeks. We had to wait much longer over the New Year, but now the next update is finally here. The Philips Hue app has jumped from version 5.57.0 to version 5.59.0. ‘Various bug fixes and stability improvements,’ the development team tells us in the update description.
Philips Hue has once again improved its products and integrated a new feature. Light strips and other lights with a gradient function now offer another mode in addition to Linear, Mirrored, and Diffuse. In this blog post, you’ll learn what “Segmented” is all about. Where exactly can you find the new mode and the different styles?
