Philips Hue: Download all Christmas scenes Festive stuff not yet back

Festive stuff not yet back

Philips Hue always offers seasonal scenes in the Hue light scene gallery that are only available for a limited period of time. Currently, for example, there are ten Christmas scenes from the “Winter holidays” category. You can simply select the scenes and save them in a room of your choice. If you have missed this and the Christmas scenes have already disappeared from the Hue light scene gallery (or not yet back), you can now download them from me: Snow sparkle (Download-Link) Under the tree (Download-Link) Nutcracker (Download-Link) Jolly (Download-Link) Golden star (Download-Link) Silent night (Download-Link) Color Burst (Download-Link) Crystalline (Download-Link) Rosy sparkle (Download-Link) Festive fun (Download-Link) Simply click on the desired download link using a smartphone or tablet on which you have installed the Hue app.

iConnectHue: Update and Black Friday promotion Popular Hue app for iPhone and iPad

Popular Hue app for iPhone and iPad

When it comes to configuring the Hue system, there has been no way around iConnectHue (App Store link) in recent years. And even if the official Philips Hue app keeps adding new features, iConnectHue remains my first choice for most settings. Now there’s some news about the app again, as iConnectHue version 5.8 is now available to download.

Multi-bridge support: What’s next in 2025 Information on Alexa integration and device relocation

Information on Alexa integration and device relocation

We’ve been waiting a long time for this, but this week it finally became possible: several Hue Bridges can be combined into one home. Multi-Bridge support finally makes it possible to control all lights directly in the app without having to constantly switch between different views. However, not all the functions that the Hue community would like to see are integrated.

How Philips Hue could make the home view more organized For large installations with many rooms

For large installations with many rooms

Since this week, several Bridges can be “connected” to each other in the Philips Hue app – multi-bridge support is finally here. Although lamps and accessories cannot yet communicate with each other across bridges, at least you don’t have to switch between the different bridges every time you want to control the lamps.

Philips Hue unlocks multi-bridge support Link multiple Hue Bridges together

Link multiple Hue Bridges together

If you are one of those people who use a lot of Hue devices and therefore rely on two or more Hue Bridges, then I have very good news for you today. It is now possible to link multiple Bridges together in the Philips Hue app. This means that lights throughout the house can be controlled directly in the Hue app, even if they are linked to different Bridges.

Version 5.30 in the App Store and firmware 1.2.26

While we continue to wait for the big updates, including multi-bridge support and new 24-hour scenes, Philips Hue is working on some improvements under the hood. The recently released version 5.30 brings some bug fixes and stability improvements. However, I did notice one small new feature, at least on the iPhone.

Philips Hue is working on new 24-hour scenes Alternatives for natural light

Alternatives for natural light

In December 2022, Philips Hue launched its first automatically running scene: Natural Light. This scene uses different shades of warm to cool white light that are automatically adjusted throughout the day. “Start with bright, cool shades to energize you in the morning and end the day with a warmer, golden hue to help you relax in the evening,” Philips Hue writes about the Natural Light scene.

Much cheaper than Aurelle and Surimu

At the beginning of September, Philips Hue announced that the Tento series, which was only launched in the first half of the year, would also be available in a square shape. After the round models have been available for several months, the square versions are now also available. And they are at least as interesting.

Philips Hue 5.29: Still without multi-bridge support What's new in the app

What's new in the app

This afternoon, Philips Hue released another update for its app, version 5.29 is now available to download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Unfortunately, this is still without the previously announced multi-bridge support that so many of us are waiting for. There are still two months to go, as the function is still due to arrive in 2024 – at least that’s what the manufacturer announced at the beginning of September.
