Multi-Source Light technology: How Hue combines multiple light sources For the first time with the new Hue Dymera

For the first time with the new Hue Dymera

On Tuesday, Philips Hue unveiled some smaller innovations for the start of 2024. These include the Philips Hue Dymera wall light, designed for indoor and outdoor use, which can shine upwards and downwards in different colours. Philips Hue advertises this feature as “Multi-Source Light Technology” – a pretty impressive name for a feature that we already know from the Philips Hue Ensis, for example.

Community question of the week: Motion detector should not switch off lights When the lamps are already on

When the lamps are already on

This week I would like to deal with a question that I have probably already answered several times. But there are always new readers – and they should also be familiar with this basic function. The impetus for this is a question from Hannah in our small community area: I have some outdoor lights that switch on automatically in the evening and then switch off again automatically when controlled by Hue.

Create colourful colour gradients

In September 2020, Philips Hue launched the first “Gradient” product on the market. The Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box, which was released in 2019, was followed by the Philips Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip – a light strip for mounting behind the TV to create an Ambilight-like effect in combination with the Sync Box.

No chance of a stylish look

The Philips Hue Lightguide series was launched just over a year ago – if you can call it that. The Globe and Triangular versions were quickly discontinued due to quality problems, leaving only the Ellipse. And that’s exactly what Hueblog reader Tobi sent me a question about via Instagram: I would like to use a Hue Ellipse as a table lamp.

Arming the system and activating the alarm

The Hue Secure system, which was launched around two months ago and so far consists of three different camera models and contact sensors, still has many unresolved issues. Today I would like to answer two interesting questions from the community about Hue Secure and the connected smart home cameras from Philips Hue as soon as more than one bridge is involved.

Last week, Hueblog reader Raphael sent me a rather exciting and interesting question about Philips Hue. I would like to present the answer to all readers here on the blog, as newcomers in particular may not yet be aware of this major advantage of Philips Hue. But let’s get to the question first: My Hue Bridge is connected to the router in the house.

Firmware update makes it possible

A community post by Jenaih brought a rather interesting story to my attention. He writes in his comment: “Am I the only one who noticed that the effects Candle, Fireplace and Prism also run on Hue lamps without Bluetooth?” I can now answer this question with a partially “yes”. But let’s start from the beginning.

Hue Secure does not work with contact sensors from other manufacturers Waiting for the original

Waiting for the original

Hue Secure was officially integrated into the Hue app this week, but apart from integrating existing motion sensors, there’s not much you can do with Philips Hue’s new security system yet. Cameras and contact sensors are only “coming soon”, the official statement still reads “in autumn”. However, I couldn’t just sit around idly either, so I tried my luck with two ZigBee contact sensors.
