like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
i miss the timer funktion.. i used that one all day for bedroom lights, to let them run for 20 minutes and shut down automatic.. or i just didnt found it on the new app -.-
This is so sweet! Can't wait to test out these updates. Looking forward to the randomizing lights feature throughout scenes. Been waiting a long time for that feature.
This was great, thank you Justin! I have downloaded the update but I didn't want to launch the app until I'd seen your video, because obviously ;) Great new features which will no doubt make me want to buy MORE lights haha but no bad thing... looking forward to your deep dive video too x
Great news! You made my day, Justin! One thing I was really hoping for that I don't see in the new app or in your description is Alexa support for multiple hubs. Is that coming?
No word yet - but George Yianni, head of tech, said that is a major feature they want to bring. My thoughts are that this new build was built to support that in the future. It's a priority - or at least they say it is.
Love the update the ONLY thing I wish they would change is.... To show us the "value" of whatever they are now allowing us to set as the "height" of each light in the entertainment zone. If you have lights on the left and right side, you have to "hope" the color value they are showing as you change the height matches.... I know they have some value between 0 - 100%.... so show it to us... so I can make sure the left & right are at exactly the same height.
@@Justin_tech yes let’s hope so. Looking forward to your vid on iOS shortcuts as I’ve not done much with them because I couldn’t find anything that made life easier 😀
Great video...As per 2 mins on the vid, I can move the scenes around vut cannot move / re sort the light in a room? Running android. Does this make a difference? Thanks
The scene light swap is just what I was wishing I had last month when I installed five GU10 bulbs iny living room and one of the Arctic Aurora colors was not the one I wanted right over too if me. However, what is needed now is to have the color swap action within the "Edit scene" context as it is only available when browsing scenes to add to a room. This is less of an issue when adding a prebuilt scene as I can delete it from my room, find it in the scenes library, hair the color swap action, and add it to my room. However, for my custom screens, e.g., chtisas light colors, now I need to edit multie bulbs if I want to swap l, say, the red and green bulbs/colors. I am also really looking forward to dynamics screnes in hopes that it will make my Arctic Aurora come to life!
With the new Hue app, we now have to push the button on the bridge to switch bridges. In the previous version, while a little more difficult to find, the ability to switch bridges did not require you to touch the bridge. This is a tremendous step backwards.
I wish there was a way to get the buttons on the hue wireless dimmer to do different functions (like being able to zone each button). Is there such a thing for Android?
there is a setting for each light that can be set to "turn on as same color when there's loss of power" Go to Settings > Lights > [select light] > Power On behavior - set to "Last-on" OR "Custom"
Ay, am I the only one having issues downloading this app for my PC, whenever I start the download for the app, it only gets part of the installation wizard then nothing happens
Damnit. Have been using Shortcuts for months already but they are no longer working after the update. Guess I’ll just have to delete and redo them. >_< Edit. All working now! Guess they just needed time to get sorted out on the bridge. Phew!
Hi! I have a question is there any chance to add a shortcut or a widget to turn off the lights? Because I had a widget to turn of the lights but now I can't create one to do that with the lights off😦
Watch my 4.0 app walkthrough which came out today. Yes, you'll need to create a shortcut for this. Pretty easy (and cool!) WATCH HERE: ruclips.net/video/wuv2cxDBGmo/видео.html
Is there a way to "hide" certain rooms from people's apps? there are multiple people in my house who want to use hue but not have everyone else's rooms on their screen. Or do I need to buy a new bridge for each person?
No, but this would be a great idea. Maybe have one user as the Custodian and the other phones which are registered (through location settings, perhaps) can be given access to specific rooms. @Philipshue, you should consider this!

Uggg. His smile and eyes are so beautiful.

I was a huge fan of the ios widget. It’s very simple to understand and I can select my created scenes… I don’t think it’s a step further to cancel it…
i miss the timer funktion.. i used that one all day for bedroom lights, to let them run for 20 minutes and shut down automatic.. or i just didnt found it on the new app -.-
Same here….I can’t figure out how to make a nighttime reading timer in the new app….ugh 😞
Thanks for the heads up. Just downloading the update now and will have a play
Not a fan of them getting rid of the widget that can have up to 5 buttons in it
This is so sweet! Can't wait to test out these updates. Looking forward to the randomizing lights feature throughout scenes. Been waiting a long time for that feature.
Dynamic Scenes look awesome!
This was great, thank you Justin! I have downloaded the update but I didn't want to launch the app until I'd seen your video, because obviously ;) Great new features which will no doubt make me want to buy MORE lights haha but no bad thing... looking forward to your deep dive video too x
Glad you enjoyed! Working on that walkthrough RIGHT NOW!

Yay, updating NOW!
Woohooo!
I would definitely look forward for the effects! Hope itll have some red alarm effects and some storm lightning for like sleeping or Halloween! 🙏🏽
Love that idea!
You sir, look amazing 😍🙈 didn't know until now about the new app, good thing. The previous one is getting old.
Glad you like it

LOVE this idea. @philipshue, you listening?
It would be great if they found a way to turn off hue bulbs during dark scenes without the sync box when connecting to a philips ambilight TV
Sad news about labs though - I use the tap toggle one all the time as it maximises use from the switches. Hopefully it'll get included.
For now, you can access it. My hope is that they are trying to migrate all of it into the app.
@@Justin_tech yes let’s hope so. Looking forward to your vid on iOS shortcuts as I’ve not done much with them because I couldn’t find anything that made life easier 😀
The randomized times is not actually new. I've been using that feature as part of a holiday routine for many years now
Oh wow, I missed that one.
You can still use widgets on Android I have a pixel and I had to remake them but it def works
Another great review sir.
Why thank hue!
Great video...As per 2 mins on the vid, I can move the scenes around vut cannot move / re sort the light in a room? Running android. Does this make a difference? Thanks
How to turn off the lights completely?
The scene light swap is just what I was wishing I had last month when I installed five GU10 bulbs iny living room and one of the Arctic Aurora colors was not the one I wanted right over too if me.

I am also really looking forward to dynamics screnes in hopes that it will make my Arctic Aurora come to life!
Dynamic scenes are going to be AWESOME! I like your idea - would be great to see the shuffle button in other areas and scenes.
@@Justin_techhow do we find the app? Lots of hue apps, What's the Phillips one?
Mine suddenly stopped working this past week- I also can’t re-connect my Hue Bridge.
Was dynamic scenes rolled out? I don't find it in my April 2022 software.
With the new Hue app, we now have to push the button on the bridge to switch bridges. In the previous version, while a little more difficult to find, the ability to switch bridges did not require you to touch the bridge. This is a tremendous step backwards.
You don’t need to touch the bridge on the new app. Maybe just the first time but not again
I wish there was a way to get the buttons on the hue wireless dimmer to do different functions (like being able to zone each button). Is there such a thing for Android?
"with out further a-hue. Lets hue this" - opportunity missed. Is there any Sync box integration now?
There was a “let’s hue this” take, but it wasn’t good hahahha
Vid coming out tomorrow shows off the Shortcuts with Hue sync box (which were always a thing)
Hy , how do I make the light bulb stai permanent on the color I want after I switched the light off please ? Thank you
there is a setting for each light that can be set to "turn on as same color when there's loss of power" Go to Settings > Lights > [select light] > Power On behavior - set to "Last-on" OR "Custom"
My bulb won’t update do you have any idea why not
Mine is not updated and says no updates available
Worked great on my iPad - straight in, no problems. iPhone, can't find the bridge!
Fixed it - restarted iPhone. Must have cleared the app cache.
I’ve restarted my iPhone too but no joy as yet.
Ay, am I the only one having issues downloading this app for my PC, whenever I start the download for the app, it only gets part of the installation wizard then nothing happens
I have the same exact shirt and because of that, I subscribed.
Yesss I love it! :)
Can i use hue sync app on my phone if i don’t have the hue sync box? I can’t sync my Netflix to my philips hue 😭😭

@@Justin_tech ok thanks I'll watch it 🙂
@@Justin_tech thank you so much yeah this was so easy new follower right here thanks!!!
Nice job.
Are they going to make a 2.0 hue bridge hdmi box
No clue - Hope so!
So you can just slide through the colour wheel anymore and have all the lights in the room as the same colour?
No, you can still do that!! Tap on one of the lights in a room/zone and it will bring the colorwheel out for all lights
@@Justin_tech Amazing! Thank you!
Just tried to update but software said no update available....When do we see this????
not in the app, do it from playstore
App Store!
Maybe it’s a staggered release? I also can’t see it on the UK App Store or as an update on the phone. The App Store just opens my current hue app.
I had the same issue. Just delete the app and re download it from the App Store.
How can i set the timer in the new app? Can‘t find it😅
There is no timer.... :( :( :( I know...
In the Labs, I use the Third Times a Charm script for the sensors, having a 3rd time block. Are they going to add that natively?
No idea - I hope they bring it all in.
What was wrong with the previous app? I really don’t see much difference
It was completely rebuilt from the ground up. My walkthrough covers all of the viewable changes. A lot of the rebuild will effect future updates.
It's now ugly, thats the big feature. And also a 3 second text at the start with "connecting with bridge"! What a wonderful update...
Where can i See this Digital Event?
All you need now is some brighter Philips hue bulbs..... Philips hue bulbs I completely substandard compare to lifx ..
Apparently they are in the works!
@@Justin_tech it's definitely completely over due .....
You should do a phillips hue home tour
He has!
I'll make an updated one soon - Check out this Hue Tour episode for now: ruclips.net/video/PI650zkgxbU/видео.html
Is there a way to "hide" certain rooms from people's apps? there are multiple people in my house who want to use hue but not have everyone else's rooms on their screen. Or do I need to buy a new bridge for each person?

Such a great simplified app now. 👍🏻
💯💯💯
New app sucks! Can no longer have it change to a certain scene at a time! Revert please!
No wedges really bothers me
Oh yeah baby this is awesome you know what I mean.
Que app es?
Cool features but who has the time to set all this stuff up. Smart tech is starting to be more work than not having smart devices
hahaha I get it. That's why im here! to help streamline.
Whats the new App look like ? I have a new phone cause my other died.
Check out my App Walk through video: ruclips.net/video/wuv2cxDBGmo/видео.html
Does anyone know if there's a way to set a circadian rhythm seen on hue like wiz has?
If you have HomeKit, you can use adaptive lighting.
But no, it doesn’t exist on the hue app, you would need to create automations.
Is this the best thing Philips can do! Such a big company with a big website just to sell color bulbs JAJAJAJA
When is it available in the UK?
Now!
What he said
@@Justin_tech but I said it with such panache 😂
I just hate the tiles I don’t want to swipe back and forth to see my lights. I’d rather have the old app back
Nice, the old app really started to feel very old and outdated
Personally I think the old look was better, it looks older now and not that modern feel
why cant i find this app in the apple store!? i have this old shitty app
edit
found it:)
Lol
😁
Its a total mess i hate it!
Yeah, so ugly and that performance is creepy!
Philips Hue new app is still absolutely HORRIBLE. Unusable.
At least pretend to be objective...
