The new premium light strip and its predecessor

In the USA, the new Hue OmniGlow Lightstrip is already available in one of three different lengths, and it is set to launch here in Europe in November. The new light strip is intended to replace the previous premium product, the Hue Ambiance Gradient Lightstrip. But how exactly do the two light strips differ from each other?

These are the tasks the Hue Secure Smart Chime takes on More than just a simple door chime

More than just a simple door chime

Alongside the Hue Secure Video Doorbell, the Hue Secure Smart Chime is now also available. A digital door chime priced at €59.99 (shop link), which of course makes an ideal companion for the doorbell itself. I’d almost go as far as saying it’s essential, since the classic door chime in your home gets deactivated when installing the Hue Secure Video Doorbell.

Apple Home: Scene export via Matter finally possible Philips Hue 5.52 released

Philips Hue 5.52 released

The Apple community has been waiting a long time for this. With the update to version 5.52, Philips Hue has finally gained the ability to transfer scenes to Apple Home via a Matter connection. This had not been possible since the launch of Matter integration in autumn 2023. To export a scene to Apple Home, you need to activate the scene and then tap the icon with the three dots directly to the right of it.

Available from the end of October

Philips Hue and voice control with Alexa have been around for what feels like forever. Okay, except for those times when the Hue skill isn’t working properly again. As far as I know, the problems from the summer have now been resolved. And who knows, maybe you’re in the market for a new speaker?

Best purchased as a bundle with a chime

And on we go with the new Hue products. The Hue Secure Video Doorbell is now available in both Europe and the US. I recommend purchasing it as a bundle with the Hue Secure Chime, the digital door chime from Philips Hue. This bundle is now available in the Philips Hue online store.

AmbiScape replaces Ambilight+Hue in Philips TVs Connect Matter light bulbs directly

Connect Matter light bulbs directly

In recent years, TP Vision and Signify, the two companies behind Ambilight televisions and Philips Hue, have not worked particularly well together. Since 2023, Philips TVs have no longer been equipped with Ambilight+Hue, and currently, the Hue Bridge Pro cannot be paired with older TVs. Now there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel, even if not all the information is known yet: AmbiScape.

Another early launch in the Hue world. After the Flux Lightstrip was launched ahead of schedule, the Hue OmniGlow Lightstrip has now suffered the same fate. Unfortunately, not in Europe, but only in the US. Of course, I ordered one anyway. And at the end of the day, it’s better this way than if the light strip were to arrive late.

A look at the technical data

In October, Philips Hue will not only launch its first video doorbell, but also deliver an improved version of the Hue Secure camera for the first time in two years. While the design remains unchanged, the resolution has been tweaked. Until now, all Hue Secure cameras have unfortunately only offered a resolution of 1080p.

The new top model

Unfortunately, most of the new light strips are not expected to be released in the US until next year, with the exception of the top model: the Hue OmniGlow Lightstrip will be launched worldwide in November. And it seems that things are moving even faster in the US, where the three-meter version of the light strip is already listed as available.
