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.

The new version of the Philips Hue app is already available in the Google Play Store and should be available in the Apple App Store shortly. Version 5.54 of Philips Hue brings some exciting new features, some of which can provide a whole new user experience. I’ve gathered all the details for you.
There is another new software update from Philips Hue. This time, the focus is on the Hue Bridge Pro, which is receiving its second firmware update in the second month after its launch. This time, the manufacturer is addressing network problems that could occur under certain conditions. “We have resolved an issue where in very rare cases the Bridge Pro did not start correctly, and the LEDs kept flashing white when the LAN IP address of the Bridge Pro was in the range 10.x.x.x/8
There are only two weeks left until it gets really spooky again. Halloween is just around the corner, and the right lighting will make it even scarier. After the Halloween scenes have already been launched in the Philips Hue app, they are now also available in iConnectHue. iConnectHue not only offers scenes, but also an entire Halloween animation set.
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. The update offers much more than the manufacturer states in the release notes. But first things first. Let’s first take a look at what has officially changed in the new version.
The Hue Bridge Pro has been available in stores for just over a month now. I have already replaced one of my two old Hue Bridges, and I am still waiting for the improved migration feature for the second one. A little patience is still required here, but Philips Hue has now announced the first software update for the Hue Bridge Pro.
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.
At a rather unusual time, Philips Hue released an update in the App Store on Sunday. Version 5.51 is now also available for iPhone and iPad, after the update was released a few days earlier in the Google Play Store as an exception. However, there are no major new features in this update.
Today, Philips Hue not only introduced numerous new products, but also updated its app for iPhone and iPad. For Android, the update to version 5.50 should be available in the coming days. I’ll take you through it and tell you what’s changed. Behind the scenes, Philips Hue has already been working on implementing the new devices over the past few weeks, including new icons in the color wheel for the Hue Festavia Globe string of lights.
