iConnectHue 4.14: Improved control and more possibilities with colours Update brings colour explosion

Update brings colour explosion

To control my Hue lights, I prefer to use the official app from Philips Hue. To configure accessories, I have so far resorted to iConnectHue (App Store link). With the latest update to version 4.14, Stefan Göhler's app offers numerous new functions around the topic of colours – and thus also becomes really interesting for controlling lamps.

From February, Hue will be more expensive again

We really don't need to discuss that Philips Hue is expensive fun. But apparently expensive is not yet expensive enough.

According to my information, Philips Hue will adjust its official price recommendations again on February 1st 2023 – upwards.

According to my information, it is almost impossible that there will be a possibility to order the Festavia light chain via the Philips Hue Shop before Christmas.

Is Festavia still coming for the festive season?

You have to hand it to Philips Hue: After they have made a mess of one or the other product launch in the past and the availability in the in-house online shop was often very poor, it worked out wonderfully with the Festavia string light despite the tight schedule. On 11 November, which was a Friday, it was possible to order the string light in the Philips Hue online shop, and the first orders were already delivered on the following Monday.

This feature is still missing

I actually haven't written about the new Philips Hue Festavia string light for two weeks, so let's change that today. I couldn't bring myself to do an ultimate test yet, also because I don't know yet how exactly to evaluate the product. But I can already answer one question: I like the fairy lights very much.
