Version 5.30 in the App Store and firmware 1.2.26

While we continue to wait for the big updates, including multi-bridge support and new 24-hour scenes, Philips Hue is working on some improvements under the hood. The recently released version 5.30 brings some bug fixes and stability improvements. However, I did notice one small new feature, at least on the iPhone.

The Black Friday deals at Philips Hue have started. I have already summarised all the information for you, but today we would like to look at one product in more detail: The Philips Hue Play Gradient Light Tube. It is part of the Black Friday deals in most countries, in Germany in the long, black version.

Save on single items or in a bundle

In just over two weeks, it’s that time of year again: Black Friday is upon us. While this used to be a single big shopping day, the offers are now starting much earlier – including at Philips Hue, of course. You can now save big in the manufacturer’s official online shop.

Philips Hue is working on new 24-hour scenes Alternatives for natural light

Alternatives for natural light

In December 2022, Philips Hue launched its first automatically running scene: Natural Light. This scene uses different shades of warm to cool white light that are automatically adjusted throughout the day. “Start with bright, cool shades to energize you in the morning and end the day with a warmer, golden hue to help you relax in the evening,” Philips Hue writes about the Natural Light scene.

Philips Hue makes Secure cameras even cheaper After the price reduction comes the sale

After the price reduction comes the sale

At the beginning of October, Philips Hue made its Hue Secure cameras cheaper and lowered the recommended retail price. And not too close, the prices were reduced by more than 30 percent in some cases. But that was not the end of the story. After a sale started a few weeks ago in the USA, there is now an additional 20 percent discount on Philips Hue smart cameras in Germany and Europe.

Philips Hue 5.29: Still without multi-bridge support What's new in the app

What's new in the app

This afternoon, Philips Hue released another update for its app, version 5.29 is now available to download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Unfortunately, this is still without the previously announced multi-bridge support that so many of us are waiting for. There are still two months to go, as the function is still due to arrive in 2024 – at least that’s what the manufacturer announced at the beginning of September.

Of course, this should not be missing

AI has become an integral part of the technology world and artificial intelligence now has a hand in many things. Perhaps soon in Philips Hue too? This is indeed conceivable, at least in part. Philips Hue has been testing an AI Playground for some time now, which is designed to create a suitable light scene with a simple text command.

This is all new in version 5.28

Last week, Philips Hue began distributing software version 1.122.2 for almost all of its lights. By now, you should all have received the new firmware – as the manufacturer released an update for the official Philips Hue app yesterday evening. Version 5.28 contains extensive new features, which I would like to introduce to you in this article.

Four new effects are activated

Over the past few days, I’ve received more and more messages from you and when I was in the shower this morning, my switched-on Hue lights also flickered briefly. I immediately realized that this could only be the firmware update that some of you have already received. A look at the Hue app confirmed this: Almost all my light bulbs have automatically updated to software version 1.122.2.

Philips Hue has a new dark icon for iOS 18 Dark mode on the home screen

Dark mode on the home screen

I’m not really familiar with the Android world, but I could imagine that something like this has existed there for some time. With iOS 18, Apple has expanded Dark Mode and now also offers darkening on the home screen. To be more precise, app icons can be darkened. However, this still requires the help of the app developers in some cases, including Philips Hue.
