Philips Hue finally released one new version of your app to control your different smart lighting solutions. The new app is better at practically everything thanks to a redesign that makes it easier to control the connected home and adds a series of new options that solve some common problems.
This is the new Philips Hue app
On more than one occasion we have told you about the products of Philips Hue smart lighting. Because they seem to us to be the best on the market, although the price is sometimes much higher than its direct rivals.
However, in the same way that we tell you that we like their products, we also recognize that the application needed some changes or other. 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 that these are not perfect either, but visually they were easier to understand for the less advanced user.
Now new Philips Hue app for iOS and Android It draws attention first of all for its redesign. Version 4.0 looks much better and includes a series of new features that will be especially appreciated by those who have already advanced in terms of integrating this type of solution in their home and will make it easier for newcomers to get started.
To begin with, as can be seen in the images, the very user interface has been redesigned right from the start. It is very similar to the Apple and Google applications as we said, so that everything is more visual and easier 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 be able to edit all these zones and rooms in a much faster and easier way. Especially when using 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 carried out.
