The new SpatialAware feature has been available in the Hue app since Tuesday. When used with the Hue Bridge Pro, lights in a room can be scanned to determine their positions, thereby optimizing the display of scenes. And in practice, this actually seems to achieve the desired effect, at least according to your initial experiences.
Philips Hue has just released version 5.66.0 of its official app, introducing the SpatialAware feature—announced in January—for the Hue Bridge Pro. The update also includes improvements for the Hue Secure video doorbell. The update is now available in the Google Play Store for Android devices and in the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad.
In early January, Philips Hue announced a new feature: SpatialAware. This feature uses a smartphone to scan the lights in a room, recording their exact positions. Based on this data, selected lighting scenes can be perfectly tailored to the room. Above all, this ensures that ceiling lights no longer emit a hodgepodge of colors but instead focus on the white spectrum.
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.
