Something is happening: Friends of Hue switch with battery instead of energy harvesting Nothing has been declared officially

Nothing has been declared officially

In the first half of the year I have already reported on the Friends of Hue module, which the Asian manufacturer Sunricher has produced. It has exactly the same dimensions as the official EnOcean module used in the Friends of Hue switches. EnOcean is known to use energy harvesting technology to power its module.

How do you like the edgy design?

Remember the CES in January? That was when Philips Hue introduced some new outdoor products that I’ve already presented to you in detail in the following weeks. For example the Attract, Daylo or also the Resonate. But I haven’t discussed a new release in more detail yet: The Philips Hue Nyro.

Review: New E27 lamps from Icasa with spiral filament LEDs Highly recommended thanks to White Ambiance and great design

Highly recommended thanks to White Ambiance and great design

Although I suspect that something will happen soon in this direction, Philips Hue has not yet managed to equip a filament lamp with White Ambiance technology. Up to now, the original Philips Hue filament lamps have a fixed colour temperature of 2,100 Kelvin. Fortunately, there are third-party suppliers who, thanks to the ZigBee standard, offer lamps compatible with the Hue Bridge that can do just that.

Perfectly integrated into the Hue system

Of course, you can easily connect an existing floor lamp with a Hue Smart Plug to the Hue Bridge, but it is not possible to do more than switch it on and off. A few weeks ago, Hueblog reader Uwe showed us what can be achieved with a little work and skill.

Hue-compatible thanks to ZigBee

Is it always this dark in the Netherlands? Besides Philips Hue from Eindhoven and Innr from Hilversum, I am already in contact with the third lighting manufacturer from our neighbouring country. Icasa from near Arnhem sent me today some initial information about a new filament lamp. The new “ZigBee Filament Bulb” from Icasa should be available on the market soon and comes in two different versions.

Last year the Philips Hue Go received a comprehensive update, two months ago it was the turn of the Philips Hue Bloom. But another table lamp from Signify’s portfolio has not received an update yet: The Philips Hue Iris. I lean out of the window and say: It’s coming soon.

New documents have appeared at FCC

Only about one and a half months ago, Philips Hue introduced the fourth generation of the Philips Hue LightStrip Plus – with rather few changes. Apart from the possibility of reconnecting cut pieces with a connector, the light strip itself has remained unchanged – to the displeasure of many Hue users who were looking forward to more new technology.

New Hexagons can convince

We pre-ordered them a few months ago, they arrived in July and could not be installed at first: The controller of our new Nanoleaf Shapes was broken. In the end, the replacement of the defective part via the Nanoleaf support went without any problems and with a little delay we could finally try the Hexagons.

Silent Friends of Hue switch: No new info from Sunricher Project put on hold?

Project put on hold?

Some weeks ago I was able to inform you about an interesting project of the Chinese manufacturer Sunricher. They have created a Hue-compatible switch, which has exactly the same dimensions as the known modules from the Friends of Hue switches. The major difference: By using an integrated button cell, the kinetic system for energy generation could be omitted, making the switch much quieter.
