I’ve already told you that the launch of new GU10 spotlights and Lightguide lamps is imminent. However, Philips Hue probably has another new product in the pipeline, a bedside lamp to be precise. Philips Hue has already taken a similar approach with the Gradient Signe table lamp, which is also placed on a bedside table in a number of product images.
The Hue Bright Days don’t actually start until May 27, but you already have the chance to take advantage of great offers in many countries. There is a 30 percent discount on many products directly in the Philips Hue online store, and in some countries there are even additional promotions with discounts of up to 40 percent – ending on June 9th.
If you’re thinking about buying GU10 spotlights for your Philips Hue system, you should be patient for a few more weeks. Apparently the launch of improved hardware is imminent, and I have already been able to discover a new version of the GU10 spots from Philips Hue in some countries. Until now, only the simple Hue White spots, which only use warm white LEDs with 2,700 Kelvin, were bright up to 400 lumens.
One week after the surprising update with the new compact view, Philips Hue is already delivering the next update. Version 5.18.0 of the official app can now be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. However, there do not appear to be any major new features this time.
Philips Hue released an interesting update on Wednesday. However, version 5.17 did not initially deliver the promised innovations. The new compact view could finally be activated in the evening hours. In this article, I’ll show you exactly how it works and what the new view looks like. After updating the Hue app, simply tap on the icon with the three dots in the top right-hand corner.
This morning, Philips Hue released another update for its app, version 5.17 is now available in the App Store. There is an exciting new feature that affects the home screen with the room overview. However, there is still a small problem… Let’s first take a look at what Philips Hue is promising with this update.
With the launch of the second generation of Philips Hue Festavia, the manufacturer integrated three new effects into the Hue app last autumn: Glisten, Opal and Prism. Previously, only the latter effect was available for all colourful Hue lamps, while the other two were reserved exclusively for the Festavia string lights.
The Philips Hue app for iOS and Android has been updated and comes with new functions. One new feature is the ability to reorganise the Hue Secure cameras in the security area. You can drag and drop the cameras into the order that suits you best. At the same time, the Philips Hue app makes it easier to change the switch-on behaviour of lamps in a room or zone.
While you previously had to take a diversion via the Siri shortcuts and had to make noticeable compromises in terms of design, native widgets have finally been available in the Philips Hue app since the update to version 5.14. This allows you to activate scenes from the home screen or lock screen and switch entire rooms or zones on and off.
The Philips Hue app has received another update and this is particularly interesting for users of an iPhone or iPad. After a long, long time, there are finally widgets for Philips Hue again. I’ll explain exactly what you can expect in this article. Several years ago, the widgets in iOS could still be found in the Today view, and Philips Hue widgets were already available back then.
