Philips Hue Unveils Exciting Update Featuring Video Recording Capabilities and Enhanced Organizational Tools

Exciting news for smart home enthusiasts! The newest update for the Philips Hue app, version 5.37.1, is now available to download on both iOS and Android platforms. This update brings a host of fresh features that will enhance your smart home experience.

A standout addition in this update is the ability to manually record video clips using Philips Hue Secure cameras. This feature is accessed through the camera’s live view interface, where a new record icon allows for easy video capture. Whether you’re looking to capture special moments or ensure home security, this tool is designed to give you greater control and flexibility.

Another welcome improvement focuses on the organization of your devices if you have multiple Hue Bridges. Users can now sort items on the Home tab by each Bridge, with each Bridge named for easy identification. This makes managing numerous devices more intuitive and streamlined. Accessing this feature is as simple as tapping the ellipses icon, selecting ‘Edit Home tab,’ followed by ‘Bridge names icon.’

Additionally, customizing your setup has never been easier with the option to change the icons associated with your Philips Hue smart lights. By selecting the light card and navigating through the settings, users with a Bluetooth setup can personalize their lighting arrangements to better suit their style and preferences.

These updates are part of Philips’s ongoing efforts to deliver a seamless and enhanced smart home experience. Make sure to update to the latest version of the Philips Hue app available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store to explore and enjoy these new features.
