No matter whether new bulbs from Philips Hue or smart lamps from other manufacturers. We always take a look at new accessories for your smart home.
A while ago I already introduced the Plug & Shine system from Paulmann to you. Up to now you could only integrate it into the Hue ecosystem with a ZigBee controller, in practice this meant: All outdoor lights connected behind the controller were displayed as one lamp in the Hue app.
Signify introduced a few days ago among others the new LightStrip Plus or the improved Hue Bloom. All new products can also be used without bridge and only with Bluetooth. We have already reported that more lamps and lights will get a Bluetooth upgrade.

It has been some time since I have equipped my living room with a new ceiling light from Lampenwelt.de. Actually I wanted to present the model Gordana to you months ago, but then it was not available for a long time due to the corona situation. This has now changed and therefore we will simply make up for it.
If you read this diligently, you could find out about most of the new products in advance. Now the new and updated products are official and can be purchased immediately. Finally. A new version of the Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus, the most popular product in the Hue range, is now available.
Usually, I'm rather reserved about statements coming from customer support. Still, the story Hueblog reader Jakob told me a few weeks ago is highly interesting. So let's take a look back and also forward.
Last week, we talked about the upcoming Philips Hue White. An E27 lamp in the classic Hue form factor and able to produce up to 1,600 lumens of brightness – unfortunately only with a fixed colour temperature of 2,700 Kelvin.
In May I already presented the new outdoor products from Innr in detail – now you can finally order them. The Innr Outdoor LightStrips, Outdoor Spots and Outdoor Cables are available at Amazon and can be ordered at their regular prices. The delivery is scheduled to start on June 12th.
Do you find the cheap ceiling lamps from IKEA too boring? You don't want the same lamp over your dining table that has probably found a home with thousands of other customers? For some time now, Signify has had the right solution to this problem: Philips MyCreation. The promise sounds very simple:
It was announced earlier this year that Philips Hue is working on a new LightStrip Plus. Not surprisingly, since the absolute bestseller from the Hue portfolio is one of the few products that has not received a Bluetooth update.
Only this morning, we reported about the Friends of Hue switches, this time focussing on the model of Senic and Gira. But no matter which manufacturer is involved, all switches have one thing in common so far: they work without batteries and generate the required energy with a relatively loud click.
