These are the improvements

It has been almost two years since Philips Hue introduced its Hue Secure cameras. In September, there should finally be another update in this product category; the manufacturer already “announced” the new Philips Hue Secure Video Doorbell some time ago in its own app. In addition to the new hardware, work is continuing on the software to improve existing products.

Motion detection without a sensor could cost money per month As part of Hue Secure?

As part of Hue Secure?

Motion detection with Philips Hue has been possible for what feels like ages with the Hue Motion Sensor. The motion detector is available for indoor and outdoor use, and its tasks can now also be performed by a Hue Secure camera. I told you some time ago that Philips Hue is working on motion detection without additional hardware.

Hue Secure: What about the location-based control? An important feature is still missing

An important feature is still missing

Philips Hue has been offering its Hue Secure products for more than a year and a half now, including several cameras and contact sensors for windows and doors. However, one particularly important function is still missing: location-based control of the system. Until now, you have always had to manually select in the Hue app whether you are currently at home or whether the system should be armed when you are away.

Hands-on: The Hue Secure Camera USB-C cable Finally a compact power supply

Finally a compact power supply

This text could be quite short in principle, but I’ll try to expand a little anyway. It’s about the new USB-C cable for powering the Hue Secure Camera, which the manufacturer has been offering for €19.99 in its own online store for a few weeks now. With this USB-C cable, you can retire the supplied power cable, which is also three meters long and has a permanently connected transformer.

Hue Secure cameras getting USB-C power cable Wouldn't that be something for lights too?

Wouldn't that be something for lights too?

There is one thing that always bothers me about Philips Hue, and that is the really thick power supply units. This may not be a problem when used alone on a wall socket, but with power strips at the latest, the space problems really start. Especially if you want to place several Lightstrips or table lamps such as the Hue Play Lightbar or Hue Gradient Signe in a corner of the room.

Hue Secure: Schedule function is now available Automatically arm or disarm the security system

Automatically arm or disarm the security system

Philips Hue Secure was launched over a year ago with several camera models and contact sensors. Since then, we have been waiting for an essential function, as the system always had to be activated or deactivated manually. This has now changed – there is now a schedule function. This had already been announced in the past few days, as the update to version 5.33 of the Philips Hue app has already integrated the corresponding menu items into the official application.

Not yet functional

Last week, Philips Hue released the first update of the year for its app. Version 5.33 officially brings a small improvement for Gradient lamps. Under the hood, however, a little more seems to have happened with this update, especially with regard to Hue Secure. If you tap on the small plus symbol at the top right of the Automations section of the Philips Hue app, you will find a new type of automation at the bottom of the list: “Arming schedule – Automate your Secure system to arm and disarm at specific times.”
