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.
Here in Germany and most other European countries, the Philips Hue online store Christmas Sale has been running for a few days now. The offers have now also arrived in the UK, USA, Canada, and even Australia and New Zealand. Click on this link to go to the promotion page for your country.
At the end of the year, Philips Hue has once again delivered a comprehensive update this week. Version 5.57 is now available for download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store and not only offers the new multi-bridge migration, but also numerous other new features. And that’s exactly what I’d like to tell you more about today.
This week, the Connectivity Standards Alliance, which includes Philips Hue manufacturer Signify, made a sweeping announcement. In addition to Matter 1.5, which I told you about yesterday, Zigbee 4.0 was also announced. As you know, Zigbee is the wireless protocol that Philips Hue has been using for more than ten years.
Another two weeks have passed, which means it’s time for a new update to the Philips Hue app. Version 5.55 of the official app is now available for download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. What’s new? Among other things, there are new features for the AI assistant in the Hue app, which can be found directly on the home page.

Once again, Philips Hue has released an update for its app. Version 5.53 is now available for download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Halloween is about three weeks away and there’s still some time before the real spookiness starts. If you want to start preparing for Halloween, you can now find the familiar Halloween scenes in the Philips Hue app again.

As a Prime member, you can save a lot of money on Amazon.com well before Black Friday, because Prime Big Deal Days have started. Our favorite smart home brand is also participating: Philips Hue is offering numerous deals on lighting. I took a look at the US and picked out the ten best Philips Hue deals for Prime Big Deal Days.
The Apple community has been waiting a long time for this. With the update to version 5.52, Philips Hue has finally gained the ability to transfer scenes to Apple Home via a Matter connection. This had not been possible since the launch of Matter integration in autumn 2023. To export a scene to Apple Home, you need to activate the scene and then tap the icon with the three dots directly to the right of it.
