MelEveryone needs a hobby. On Facebook, Hue fan Sam showed me that smart lighting and classic building blocks can be combined perfectly. When I saw his pictures of the big Millennium Falcon from the Lego Star Wars series, I was just blown away.
All the news about Philips Hue
It was announced earlier this year that Philips Hue is working on a new LightStrip Plus. Not surprisingly, since the absolute bestseller from the Hue portfolio is one of the few products that has not received a Bluetooth update.
Last week, I was able to take a look at the new Innr Outdoor Spots OSL 130 C. Today, I will take a look at the OFL 140 C, the Outdoor Flex Light from Innr. Or in short: the first real alternative to the well-known Philips Hue Outdoor LightStrip.
Only this morning, we reported about the Friends of Hue switches, this time focussing on the model of Senic and Gira. But no matter which manufacturer is involved, all switches have one thing in common so far: they work without batteries and generate the required energy with a relatively loud click.
Together with our colleagues from Senic, we want to provide you with some beginners’ videos in the coming weeks. We’ll start with a little guide around the Friends of Hue switch, which we all know well already.
What a joy to see Philips Hue introduce a new generation of its GU10 spots last fall. The new White and Color Ambiance Spots have been given a more compact design, are brighter and offer improved color rendering, so they are superior to their predecessors in all respects.
Sometimes even I, as a proven Hue expert, have to start the search engine to get a simple thing done. I wanted to integrate a scene from the Hue app in HomeKit in order to use it with a HomeKit switch.
Until now, Philips Hue has dominated the market in terms of outdoor products with low-voltage systems. Those who do not want to handle 230 volts, but are looking for a simple, fast and safe system for lighting the garden, terrace or balcony, will soon be delighted by Innr.
Today I want to ask a simple question and discuss it with you: How do you illuminate your kitchen? The worktop, to be precise. In my home I use a Philips Hue LightStrip Plus for this purpose, which is mounted in a small profile. I introduced it to you a few years ago.
In our survey with more than 1,000 participants, Hue Essentials came in third place, making it one of the most popular applications for the smart lighting system. Hue Essentials was placed behind the official Philips Hue App and iConnectHue.
