Philips Hue has finally launched a new version of its application to control its various smart lighting solutions. The new app is better in practically everything thanks to a redesign that facilitates the control of the connected home and adds a series of new options with which some common problems are solved.
This is the new Philips Hue app
On more than one occasion we have told you about Philips Hue smart lighting products. Because they seem to us to be the best on the market, although the price is sometimes much higher than that of their direct rivals.
However, in the same way that we tell you that we like their products, we also recognize that the application needed some other changes. Because there were things that after so long did not quite add up, even less when compared to the Apple Home application or Google Home. And these are not perfect either, but visually they were easier to understand for the less advanced user.
Now the new Philips Hue app for iOS and Android attracts attention in the first place for its redesign. Version 4.0 looks much better and includes a series of new features that will especially appeal to those who have already advanced in terms of integrating this type of solution into their home and will facilitate the initiation of newcomers.
For starters, as you can see from the images, the user interface itself has been redesigned from the ground up. It is very similar to the Apple and Google applications as we said, so that everything is more visual and simple to control both the devices individually and by rooms or areas.
What’s more, in the new interface there is now a button enabled to edit all these areas and rooms in a much faster and easier way. Especially when making use of the settings for entertainment by being able to better control the position of the lights and their settings.
Another important novelty is that the use of the advantages offered by geolocation has been improved with something as simple as the detection of other users when the main user of the house leaves the place to avoid possible rules such as the automatic shutdown of all lights and other rules are not enforced.
Download the new Philips Hue app
The new Philips Hue device app is now available for both iOS and Android . So you just have to go to the respective stores to download and install them on your devices. Or update if you already had it in them.
From the first minute you will see that there are numerous changes and that in general it seems to feel much lighter and more agile when performing the different actions.
