More Philips Hue news from CES 2026 Apple Home for cameras & more languages for AI

Apple Home for cameras & more languages for AI

At CES in Las Vegas, Philips Hue announced not only the new SpatialAware feature, but also two other software innovations. These are certainly not entirely surprising and have already been mentioned in the past, but now we are entering the home stretch in terms of launch and availability. Apple Home support for Hue Secure products It was supposed to be ready by the end of 2025, but now it’s promised for the first quarter of 2026: the wired Hue Secure camera, the Hue Secure video doorbell, and the Hue Secure contact sensors will soon be compatible with Apple Home.

What will Philips Hue be showing?

It’s that time of year again. After my appgefahren colleague Frederick and I enjoyed ourselves so much at last year’s CES in Las Vegas, we’re back again this year. And for the first time in several years, Philips Hue is also returning to the gaming metropolis. On Tuesday afternoon, which is already Wednesday night in Europe, a small media event will take place away from the trade fair.

What could Philips Hue bring to our Smart Homes in 2026? My little wish list for next year

My little wish list for next year

It was the biggest launch in the history of Philips Hue. At the beginning of September, they set off a real fireworks display at the IFA in Berlin, well before New Year’s Eve. That same evening, the people in charge asked me what product I thought was still missing. “No idea,” was my spontaneous answer, after all, they had just presented me with 20 new things.

Hue Essential Flex: New information about the neon light strip Was supposed to be released in December

Was supposed to be released in December

The Philips Hue Essential Flex was supposed to be released in December, but that’s not going to happen. Now that the simple Hue Essential Lightstrip has been launched in the US, at least, we’ll have to wait a little longer for its decorative sibling. The Hue Essential Flex is not yet available, but it will probably be ready in the first quarter of 2026.

Instead of my Hue-weekly: Hue Flux connectors in a video And the new Hue Essential Lightstrip...

And the new Hue Essential Lightstrip...

Today is Sunday, which means it’s time for my little weekly review. However, since things were a little quiet around Christmas, there isn’t really any news that we can revisit here. Instead, I’d like to take a look at what we can hopefully expect in early 2026. Now that the new Hue Flux light strips have been on the market for a few weeks and are already being sold at really good prices, for example in Europe in the Christmas sale, we can expect additional accessories in the coming months.

Winter Whispers: New winter scenes in the Philips Hue app From snow-covered to winter solstice

From snow-covered to winter solstice

I used the last few days for a short break before Christmas. With temperatures above 10 degrees, it wasn’t really wintery, but that’s set to change a little in the coming days, at least here in Germany. It’s already a little more wintery in the Philips Hue app. The eight Christmas scenes we’ve known for a while now are joined by eight more scenes in the new “Winter Whispers” section.

It’s hard to believe that the year is almost over. Only 10 days left until 2026. Before we get to that point and start speculating about what Philips Hue will bring to market in the new calendar year, I’d like to take a look back with you. Which new Philips Hue product did you like best this year?
