Lightbee Zigbee Switch: Battery-powered switch with Friends of Hue technology A little smaller than our standard

A little smaller than our standard

You may have come across the Danish manufacturer Light Solutions before, for example with the rich accessories for the fourth generation Hue Lightstrip Plus. Now there is another accessory, a switch with Hue-compatible technology. More precisely, the new Lightbee Zigbee Switch works like a Friends of Hue switch. However, there are some differences that warrant a small article.

Presence Mimicking could be firmly integrated into the Hue app So far only available in Hue Labs

So far only available in Hue Labs

What scares off burglars the most App? When it looks like someone is at home in a house. And what’s the best way to achieve that? With light. Philips Hue knows this too, because it is not for nothing that the function “Advanced presence mimicking” is available via Hue Labs. The function is explained there as follows: “Turn on the Presence mimicking Formula to make it look like you are at home with light.

Hue Play Lightbar: Manufacturer works on unwanted noises Are you also affected?

Are you also affected?

The Philips Hue Play Lightbar may have been around for a few years, but it is still one of Philips Hue’s bestsellers. No wonder, because the compact mood light can be flexibly placed, screwed on or glued on. However, Philips Hue does not seem to be running smoothly at the moment, even in the Hueblog community there have been repeated reports about beeping Play Lightbars.

With the latest update to version 4.13 of the Philips Hue app, the Eindhoven-based manufacturer allows Bluetooth lamps to be paired directly in the “normal” Hue app for the first time. Soon it should also be possible to transfer your lamps paired with the Bluetooth app to the main app as well, to make the switch even easier for existing users.

Hue Calla in stainless steel unboxed: colour problems finally solved? Classic finally with high-quality finish

Classic finally with high-quality finish

It feels like half an eternity, but it’s only been three and a half years since Philips Hue launched its first outdoor products. In June 2018, the Calla base light launched alongside the Lily garden spotlight. Now, in spring 2022, one of the founding members of the Hue Outdoor family is available in a new look: the Hue Calla with a stainless steel housing.

Philips Hue 4.13: Now also with built-in Bluetooth support New users will soon only need one app

New users will soon only need one app

A few weeks ago I already announced it, but there were probably some minor delays in the development. With today’s release of Philips Hue 4.13, the previous Bluetooth app becomes superfluous – because a corresponding support has now been integrated into the “main” app. However, the development team states the following in the update notes: “New Philips Hue users can now use the Hue app to control their Bluetooth setup.

Works on a local network

Do you want to control your Hue lamps via a browser on your computer? Then take a look at the Online Hue Controller by Jakob Lykke. The developer from Denmark has created a tool that is certainly not perfect, but nevertheless great. The handling of the open source project is very simple, but a little trick is necessary.

Unfortunately not compatible with Hue at first

Smart filament lamps from Philips Hue were initially only available as Hue White, and since last year also as White Ambiance with customisable white tones. Other manufacturers are now showing that even more is technically possible: Ledvance has added the first coloured filament lamps to its range, as the colleagues from Smarthome Assistant have discovered.

In addition to the already announced effects Fireplace and Candle, the new version also brings six new, especially romantic scenes for Valentine’s Day.

Probably already with the next update

Last week, Stefan Göhler, the developer of iConnectHue, came forward: He has integrated the fireplace and the candle effect into his application. The two effects were already officially announced by Philips Hue in a press release in January. At that time they wrote: In the first quarter of 2022, new effects will also be added to the Philips Hue app.
