With the iOS app iConnectHue (App Store-Link), you can control your smart lighting system even more conveniently and benefit from many additional functions. The developer is always on the ball and is now delivering the next update to version 5.6, which is now available for download. Support for Hue Twilight: iConnectHue is the first 3rd party app to fully support the Hue Twilight.
After Aurelle and Surimu, Philips Hue presented two more LED panels for the ceiling in June: Hue Tento and Hue Datura. I already shared a few words with you yesterday about the affordable Tento series, which will be available soon. Today we want to take a detailed look at the Philips Hue Datura, which I have already been able to install in my home.
In recent months, a new product from Philips Hue has not quite received the attention it deserves. It’s the Philips Hue Tento, a new series of ceiling lights from Philips Hue. The Tento series was presented for the first time in June and the market launch in the EU is now imminent.
Two weeks after the last update for the Philips Hue app, the next update is already available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. You can now download version 5.22 of the Hue app to your devices. The update is particularly interesting if you have Hue Secure cameras in use.
The first images of the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K appeared online over a year ago. At the time, someone probably made a mistake and uploaded the product images of the new generation to the product page of the previous model. Since then, it has been quiet around the new Sync Box.
Last Tuesday, Philips Hue released a major update for its own app. Among other things, a function was added to start and stop the new sleep automations with a switch. However, so far only Tap Dial Switch, wall switch modules, Tap and Friends of Hue switches are supported. However, this should change soon, as a recently released software update for the Hue Bridge shows.
The Hueblog readership also experienced the problem that I had to report on at the beginning of the week: dimmed Philips Hue lamps can suddenly light up with 100 per cent brightness. Signify, the manufacturer of Philips Hue, had pointed out an error in the communication with the smart home standard Matter.
With the latest update to version 5.21, Philips Hue has not only introduced some scenes, but also new functions. I have already explained how you can start sleep automation at the touch of a button. Another new feature is the option to hide rooms and zones on the start page.
Yesterday I already drew your attention to the latest update of the Philips Hue app. Version 5.21 brings some new features, including the ability to start sleep automation at the touch of a button on a Hue switch. But how exactly does this work and what do you need to bear in mind?
Once again, there is a new update for the Philips Hue app. Version 5.20 has been skipped, instead you can now download version 5.21 from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. I will be presenting some of the new functions to you in detail in the coming days, but today there is a brief overview of the new features.
