In Germany and several other European countries, customers have been able to save since last week, and now the Philips Hue New Year Lighting Sale is available worldwide. The popular “Mix & Match” offers are also available in the US, UK, and even Australia. I would like to provide you with a brief overview.
I already shared the first details about Hue SpatialAware with you in a detailed article on Wednesday. After seeing the feature for myself, it quickly became clear to me that you have to see it for yourself to appreciate how smart it really is. So my team and I quickly got to work and used the extremely stylish Philips Hue demo room at the Aria Hotel to record a short video about Hue SpatialAware for you.
At CES in Las Vegas, Philips Hue today announced a new software feature that will be released exclusively for the Hue Bridge Pro in the spring. It’s called SpatialAware and has absolutely nothing to do with the previous MotionAware. In this article, we’ll tell you exactly what it’s all about.
At CES in Las Vegas, Philips Hue announced not only the new SpatialAware feature, but also two other software innovations. These are certainly not entirely surprising and have already been mentioned in the past, but now we are entering the home stretch in terms of launch and availability. Apple Home support for Hue Secure products It was supposed to be ready by the end of 2025, but now it’s promised for the first quarter of 2026: the wired Hue Secure camera, the Hue Secure video doorbell, and the Hue Secure contact sensors will soon be compatible with Apple Home.
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?
It was the biggest launch in the history of Philips Hue. At the beginning of September, they set off a real fireworks display at the IFA in Berlin, well before New Year’s Eve. That same evening, the people in charge asked me what product I thought was still missing. “No idea,” was my spontaneous answer, after all, they had just presented me with 20 new things.
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.
