With the iOS app iConnectHue (App Store-Link), you can control your smart lighting system even more conveniently and benefit from many additional functions. The developer is always on the ball and is now delivering the next update to version 5.6, which is now available for download. Support for Hue Twilight: iConnectHue is the first 3rd party app to fully support the Hue Twilight.
Two weeks after the last update for the Philips Hue app, the next update is already available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. You can now download version 5.22 of the Hue app to your devices. The update is particularly interesting if you have Hue Secure cameras in use.
The Hueblog readership also experienced the problem that I had to report on at the beginning of the week: dimmed Philips Hue lamps can suddenly light up with 100 per cent brightness. Signify, the manufacturer of Philips Hue, had pointed out an error in the communication with the smart home standard Matter.
Once again, there is a new update for the Philips Hue app. Version 5.20 has been skipped, instead you can now download version 5.21 from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. I will be presenting some of the new functions to you in detail in the coming days, but today there is a brief overview of the new features.
Philips Hue has released another update for the official app in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, which brings some interesting new features. Among other things, sensors can now be grouped together – a function that was previously only available in Hue Labs. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to try out the features of the new version myself.
Back in April, I gave you a first preview of the next major update of iConnectHue (App Store link). From today, version 5.5 of the popular app for iPhone and iPad can be downloaded. And of course the new widgets for the home screen and lock screen are part of this update.
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.
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.
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.
The Philips Hue Bridge is the centrepiece of the system and is updated with new software at regular intervals. The new firmware version 1964061010 has been available to install for a few days now; the previous number was 1963171020. The update includes the following new features: Resolved an issue where, in rare cases, specific non-Hue lights would fail to connect to the Bridge Updated time zones and Daylight Saving Time settings Improved performance and reliability of the system
