In Germany and several other European countries, customers have been able to save since last week, and now the Philips Hue New Year Lighting Sale is available worldwide. The popular “Mix & Match” offers are also available in the US, UK, and even Australia. I would like to provide you with a brief overview.
Ikea revamped its smart home series at the end of 2025 and launched numerous new products with Matter over Thread. I have already tested some of them and paired them with a Homey Pro mini. You can watch the video here. But can you also use the Ikea bulbs from the new Kajplats series with the Philips Hue Bridge?
To kick off the new year, Philips Hue took advantage of the world’s largest consumer electronics trade show to showcase some new products. As in previous years, the focus was on software features. After bringing the Hue Sync TV app to LG televisions last year, there is now a new feature for the Hue Bridge Pro.
I already shared the first details about Hue SpatialAware with you in a detailed article on Wednesday. After seeing the feature for myself, it quickly became clear to me that you have to see it for yourself to appreciate how smart it really is. So my team and I quickly got to work and used the extremely stylish Philips Hue demo room at the Aria Hotel to record a short video about Hue SpatialAware for you.
At CES in Las Vegas, Philips Hue today announced a new software feature that will be released exclusively for the Hue Bridge Pro in the spring. It’s called SpatialAware and has absolutely nothing to do with the previous MotionAware. In this article, we’ll tell you exactly what it’s all about.
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.
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.
Philips Hue has once again improved its products and integrated a new feature. Light strips and other lights with a gradient function now offer another mode in addition to Linear, Mirrored, and Diffuse. In this blog post, you’ll learn what “Segmented” is all about. Where exactly can you find the new mode and the different styles?
Another new year. I’m kicking off 2026 at full throttle, and over the next 12 months there will once again be fresh news about Philips Hue (almost) every day. In this article, I want to take a look back as well as a look ahead. What will happen on the Hueblog in 2026?
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.
