Do you remember the announcement from January? Almost two months ago, Dyson introduced a new product in the lighting segment: the Lightcycle Morph. Not necessarily the successor to the Lightcycle launched last year, but much more an alternative.
All the news about Philips Hue
What do you do when sitting at your desk at home and there is nothing exciting to do? You look around the room and discover an old Hue outdoor light that you dismantled a few weeks ago. And you remember that only a few days ago you bought a new bit set that hasn’t really been tried out yet.

As alternative to a motion detector, do you want to switch on the lamps in a room with a dimmer switch, Smart Button or Friends of Hue switch for a few minutes and then switch them off again automatically? What doesn’t work with the official Hue app is no problem with third-party apps.
Last week, I reported about a firmware update for all older Hue lights without Bluetooth. After installing the update, it was possible to dim the light even more. An innovation that led to many satisfied voices. But there is also a small problem connected with it.
The Hue Smart Button is one of the most exciting new releases in recent years. After the Hue Tap and the Hue dimmer switch, it is only the third switch to be launched directly by Philips Hue.
Have you already equipped your Bridge with the firmware version 19370450000? Then it is worth taking another look at the update section of the Hue app. There is also new software for many White Ambiance and White and Color Ambiance fixtures – Signify points this out in the release notes on the US website.
Currently you can get the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box including a LightStrip Plus for 249 euros at Saturn – the best offer so far for a hardware that is not yet fully developed – just like you indicated in the comments below the last article.
Smart filament lamps are now available from numerous manufacturers. My current favourites are the White Ambiance filament lamps from Müller-Licht which will probably make it into the shops this month. Their release date is scheduled for March 24th.
Just a small side note from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. Yesterday, a little update was released for the official Philips Hue App, which brought back a small feature. This might be relevant for some users though.
