Over the past few months, Philips Hue has significantly revamped the Room View in its app. Among other things, switches, sensors, timers, and automations are now visible alongside lights and scenes. Additionally, the order of the individual segments can now be customized. But that’s not enough for me personally. To make Hue Secure even more exciting in the future, Philips Hue should also integrate the camera preview into the Room View.
Some time ago, Philips Hue added a search function to the home screen of its app. Using a magnifying glass icon in the lower-right corner of the screen, you can quickly search for lights, rooms, or scenes. This small icon has since evolved into the Hue AI Assistant, but personally, I hardly ever use it either.
Philips Hue has just released version 5.62.0 of its in-house app in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. I couldn’t see any major new features; it seems that only the function described in the update description has been added. “You can now set the orientation of your Gradient lights.
It’s time for updates in the Hue world again. Several updates are currently pending, as Philips Hue is releasing a new software version for the Hue Bridge and Hue Bridge Pro, among other things. The official Philips Hue app has also received another update. However, there don’t seem to be many new features in any of the three cases.
With version 5.60.1 of the Hue app, Philips Hue has introduced far more new features than officially announced. I have already reported on the multilingual Hue AI Assistant, the new features for the doorbell, and the customized room view. Now, Hueblog reader David has brought a small detail to my attention: a shopping cart icon has appeared on the Hue app’s home screen, to the right of the main switch for the entire home.
At the beginning of the year, Philips Hue announced several software innovations at CES in Las Vegas. First and foremost, of course, is the new SpatialAware, which we will have to wait a few more weeks for. Philips Hue has already implemented other announcements, such as the availability of the Hue AI assistant in additional languages.
Philips Hue announced it at the beginning of the year, and with today’s update, it’s finally here. The Hue AI Assistant is now available not only in English, but also in German, Spanish, and Dutch. After updating the app and possibly updating your Hue Bridge (Pro), you can get started right away.
Philips Hue usually releases updates for its app every two weeks. We had to wait much longer over the New Year, but now the next update is finally here. The Philips Hue app has jumped from version 5.57.0 to version 5.59.0. ‘Various bug fixes and stability improvements,’ the development team tells us in the update description.
Philips Hue has once again improved its products and integrated a new feature. Light strips and other lights with a gradient function now offer another mode in addition to Linear, Mirrored, and Diffuse. In this blog post, you’ll learn what “Segmented” is all about. Where exactly can you find the new mode and the different styles?
I used the last few days for a short break before Christmas. With temperatures above 10 degrees, it wasn’t really wintery, but that’s set to change a little in the coming days, at least here in Germany. It’s already a little more wintery in the Philips Hue app. The eight Christmas scenes we’ve known for a while now are joined by eight more scenes in the new “Winter Whispers” section.
