In recent weeks, I have received several questions about Philips Hue motion sensors. At first glance, it seems as if the daylight sensitivity setting has disappeared. Fortunately, this is not the case, but Philips Hue has made it much more difficult to find. However, there are also new possibilities. How to find the daylight sensitivity First, you need to open the desired sensor.
At the beginning of September, Philips Hue introduced the new MotionAware. When used in conjunction with the Hue Bridge Pro, multiple lights in a room can detect motion and turn on the light as if by magic—without the need for a motion sensor. Today, I would like to explain in detail how you can set up a motion zone in the Hue app and use MotionAware.
Some of you have already received the new Hue Bridge Pro, while others may still be considering purchasing it. After returning from Berlin, I took half an hour this morning to start transferring data from one of my old Hue Bridges to the new Hue Bridge Pro. I have summarized exactly how this worked in this short guide for you.
With a retail price of less than $20, the Philips Hue dimmer switch is not only a very affordable but also a very popular way to control individual or multiple lights in a smart home with Philips Hue. A few days ago, an interesting question about the dimmer switch popped up in my comments section.
Since I didn’t make any progress on my wall washer story today, I used the time to click through the Hueblog community a little. Among other things, I noticed a question about the wall switch module that I would like to answer in detail – maybe some of you are facing a similar challenge.
Today I have a little guide for you, which should be particularly interesting for newcomers to the Hue universe. I would like to explain how to copy a selected scene from one room or zone to another room or zone. This is very easy to do with the Philips Hue app and is particularly exciting if you have put a lot of time and effort into configuring a scene.
In our small community forum, which we hope to pimp up a little in the first half of the year, Tomm asked a rather interesting question about the Philips Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip. Of course, I have the right answer for you, even if it’s unfortunately not positive. But let’s start with the user’s request: I got myself a new 65-inch TV and the Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip for 65 inches to go with it.
It’s a question that keeps coming back to me in various ways. It’s about ceiling lighting that still has a dimmer on the switch. What is a great thing for classic halogen or LED lamps and increases convenience is absolute poison for Philips Hue. One of the letters comes from Hueblog reader Frank.
With Twilight, Philips Hue has now launched the first lamp on the market that allows you to freely assign scenes and functions to the buttons in the Hue app. With the Philips Hue Go, on the other hand, the operation is predefined. But did you know that you can also set a color of your choice for the popular Hue Go table lamp?
I have quite a few Philips Hue products in my home, I think around 80 lights and at least 25 accessories. I’ve split the entire installation between two bridges and the whole thing has always been very stable over the past six years. Until a few days ago. Suddenly the lights in some rooms no longer switched on properly when I pressed the light switch.
