The newest update for the Philips Hue app, version 5.39, is now accessible for download on both iOS and Android platforms. This version brings a collection of fresh scenes, each designed with a unique spring theme. After updating your app, you’ll find all of these themes available in the Hue scene gallery.
The eight newly introduced scenes feature names like Nature’s Colors, Precious, Narcissa, Baby’s Breath, Crocus, Blossom, Spring Lake, and Spring Blossom. These scenes are filled with vibrant hues of pink, yellow, and green, with Nature’s Colors standing out as the highlight.
According to its description, “Bring the best of nature inside with this outdoor-inspired All-Day scene, which transitions automatically throughout the day.” To experience the full effect, it’s best to use multiple Hue lights. This scene exemplifies the innovative 24-hour scenes, where colors shift according to the time of day.
This update is part of a wave of changes from Hue in recent weeks. Not long ago, the company collaborated with Samsung SmartThings to enhance its Works With SmartThings integration, followed by a leak of an upcoming smart doorbell within its app. Hue had faced some backlash for perceived stagnation, especially after previously leading the smart lighting industry during its inception, but the pace of announcements has picked up significantly.
The recent developments indicate an exciting new chapter for Philips Hue. The company appears poised to adapt to the evolving market, and it’s thrilling to envision the smart lighting innovations they’re working on. Although details surrounding the smart doorbell remain scarce, we can enjoy the arrival of these eight new scenes that perfectly capture the essence of spring.
