What's New in Philips Hue

5.71.0

July 13, 2026

- We’ve improved MotionAware area creation. It's now easier to find and select the right lights from anywhere on your bridge while following recommended setup guidelines. You can also continue using the same room or zone for new areas as long as they contain enough unused compatible devices. - We've also improved the way you can reconnect your Hue Secure Cameras and Doorbells to your WiFi network.

Perfect

I love these products, pricey but have used them for over a decade and would choose them every time. Really top notch. And they stand up over the years!!
