I’m using my time on the train home to bring you up to date on the latest software developments. Yesterday, we had our team meeting in Hanover, and on Thursday, we had the Philips Hue Christmas dinner in Hamburg. There, I actually picked up two previously announced items that are not yet available for purchase.
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.
I noticed this “negative” aspect particularly on Halloween night: in the dim light, many visitors did not press the bell button on the Philips Hue Secure Video Doorbell, but instead pressed the camera lens. This is, of course, more than inconvenient. Now Philips Hue has responded, as Hueblog reader Marcel noted in our community.
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. What’s new? Among other things, there are new features for the AI assistant in the Hue app, which can be found directly on the home page.
Philips Hue is currently rolling out new software versions for its control centers once again. A firmware update to version 2071127010 is available for the new Hue Bridge Pro. The classic white Hue Bridge is receiving an update to version 1974063020. At least at a glance at the official release notes, there appear to be no differences between the two updates.

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.
