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.
There is another new software update from Philips Hue. This time, the focus is on the Hue Bridge Pro, which is receiving its second firmware update in the second month after its launch. This time, the manufacturer is addressing network problems that could occur under certain conditions. “We have resolved an issue where in very rare cases the Bridge Pro did not start correctly, and the LEDs kept flashing white when the LAN IP address of the Bridge Pro was in the range 10.x.x.x/8
The new Hue Flux Lightstrip has been available since mid-September and performed very well in my initial hands-on. The ultra-bright version of the Hue Flux Lightstrip is set to launch shortly. It has a maximum brightness of 6,000 lumens. It can produce almost 1,000 lumens per meter. No Philips Hue light strip has ever been this bright.
I installed the Philips Hue Secure Video Doorbell next to my front door at home half a month ago and I’m pretty impressed. In this article, I’ll tell you everything the doorbell can do and which features are still to come. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments.
In July, Philips Hue launched a new ceiling light in Europe. The Hue Devote was initially available exclusively on Amazon and was not even offered in the official Hue online store. That has now changed, as Philips Hue has added the Devote to its own product range as of today. Other online retailers are expected to follow suit at a later date.

In addition, the system can also be easily expanded with additional smart chimes. In this article, I’ll tell you what options are available.
The Hue Bridge Pro has been available in stores for just over a month now. I have already replaced one of my two old Hue Bridges, and I am still waiting for the improved migration feature for the second one. A little patience is still required here, but Philips Hue has now announced the first software update for the Hue Bridge Pro.
And here comes the next new product release from Philips Hue. Admittedly, it’s not really spectacular this time, but I don’t want to leave it unmentioned. It’s the new second generation of the Hue Secure camera with 2K resolution. Compared to the first generation, it has almost twice as many pixels.
This discussion has already heated up tempers in the past: Philips Hue or Govee, which one is better? In my opinion, this is a difficult comparison to make, as the product portfolios of the two manufacturers alone differ massively. The technical basis used could not be more different either. Now I’m pitting two comparable products against each other in a direct duel: the new Hue OmniGlow Lightstrip and the Govee COB Strip Light Pro.
