Just yesterday I was able to tell you that Philips Hue will launch its own smart home camera. This was leaked by Eric Rondolat, the CEO of the manufacturer Signify, during the announcement of the quarterly figures. However, as I know by now, Philips Hue’s new security system will not consist of just one camera.
Philips Hue usually introduces new products around the International Consumer Electronics Fair in Berlin. Signify CEO Eric Rondolat has now revealed what we can expect this year during a conference call. One thing is already certain: Philips Hue will get a home monitoring system, similar to what Signify’s second brand Wiz already got a few months ago.

Thanks to the Bluetooth function, Philips Hue now makes it very easy to enter the world of smart lighting. Buy a lamp, screw it in, turn on the light switch and you’re ready to go. Different colours can be selected and lamps dimmed via Bluetooth. But what about accessories? This is where a question from Sebastian from our community comes into play.
Yesterday evening, Philips Hue released another update of its official app in the App Store. With version 4.47, the manufacturer improves the Sync function in the entertainment area. The update description in the App Store says: “Love syncing your lights with the content on your screen, but feel like one is just too bright?
Every now and then I receive e-mails about the Philips Hue outdoor series. On the one hand with beautifully staged outdoor areas, on the other hand with problem reports again and again. A classic, for example, are defects around the outdoor connectors. But what Hueblog reader Karl has now described to me is indeed beastly.
The Philips Hue Aurelle has been with us for several years now. The panel light has always been available in four different shapes, and now you also have the choice between two different colours. After the Hue Aurelle was previously only available with a white frame, there is now also a black version to choose from.
Last November, Philips Hue surprised us at the last minute with the Festavia string lights. Just before Christmas, the small colourful LEDs for the Christmas tree went on sale – and were completely sold out within a few days. This status has not changed so far. However, there is a surprising announcement from Switzerland: There, the Festavia is currently available again in the official online shop of Philips Hue and is even sold with a discount of 10 percent for the first time.
There was a rather interesting question in the Hueblog community over the weekend about mounting Hue lights on the wall. An exciting topic that I would also like to take up again on the blog. And that’s what it’s about: In my flat there is only one connection for lights per room.
With the update to version 4.46 released today, the Philips Hue app is to receive a new function that will make the interactive “Natural Light” scene a little better. In future, it will not only be possible to set fixed times for the individual light settings. Philips Hue writes in the update description: “You can now set the Natural light scene to automatically adjust to your local sunset time.
Last week I already gave you the first information about the Phoscon Hive from Dresden-Elektronik. In the meantime, I have been able to try out the small battery-operated table lamp myself and am particularly impressed by the operating concept. Of course I would like to share my impressions with you. The Phoscon Hive can be bought directly from Amazon in many countries and costs 59.95 euros there.
