Today, Philips Hue not only introduced numerous new products, but also updated its app for iPhone and iPad. For Android, the update to version 5.50 should be available in the coming days. I’ll take you through it and tell you what’s changed. Behind the scenes, Philips Hue has already been working on implementing the new devices over the past few weeks, including new icons in the color wheel for the Hue Festavia Globe string of lights.
Philips Hue released an update to version 5.49 of its in-house app this morning. The update is already available in the Apple App Store and should appear in the Google Play Store in the coming days. What has changed? The official update description in the App Store states: “Have you ever found it annoying when scenes get applied while configuring your automations or accessories?
Back in June, around the time of the release of the new Philips Hue Play Wall Washer, I noticed that Philips Hue had a new logo. The licensed manufacturer name “Philips” has been moved slightly into the background, with the focus now more on the brand name “Hue.” And not just on the packaging, but also on the Philips Hue website.
Developer Stefan Göhler has released another update with new features for his popular app iConnectHue. Before we get to that, I would like to briefly address some of your reactions, as I was misunderstood by some of you in the last article. I have no problem with iConnectHue costing money, even on an ongoing basis.
When I reported on the firmware update for Philips Hue bulbs and lights last week, there were some critical comments, particularly on the english version of Hueblog, that the article did not contain any information. I found that a bit of a shame, because many users are wondering about the new software version, but Philips Hue has not provided any information so far.
Philips Hue has released another update for its app, version 5.46.0 is now available for download. The update is already available in the Apple App Store, but it is not yet visible in the Google Play Store. I think it will follow there in the coming days. In any case, there isn’t much to report, as Philips Hue doesn’t have any new features to offer this time around.
Philips Hue released another update for its official app on Thursday. However, I can keep this brief: there are no major new features. “Various bug fixes and stability improvements,” says the update description for version 5.44. Every now and then, new features do creep in, but so far I haven’t noticed anything.
In recent years, I have been repeatedly confronted with support requests on this very topic, and now Philips Hue has finally integrated a solution into its app. With version 5.43 of the Hue app, which is already available in the Apple App Store and will soon also be available in the Google Play Store, a small accessory trap has been fixed.
After almost exactly four weeks, there is finally a new update for the Philips Hue app in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Version 5.42.0 of the Hue app is now available for download, meaning that 5.41.0 has been omitted. What has changed in the new version? For the first time, it is now possible to hide the master switch on the home page.
There is yet another new update for iConnectHue, probably the most comprehensive app for configuring the Philips Hue system. With version 5.9, German developer Stefan Göhler delivers a new switch editor that makes the selection of available actions for a button press even clearer. “Our switch editor has been given a glow-up,” the developer tells us.
