Philips Hue lights are getting a big free update that'll fine-tune your setup

New Philips Hue Luster Bulb flooding room

Smart lighting brand Signify is currently working on a sizable update for its Philips Hue line, introducing new methods of controlling devices later this year.

First, the Philip Hue app will be getting a brightness balancer, giving people a way to tweak the "brightness of individual lights" instead of everything at once. That way you can lower the brightness on stronger lights more than weaker lights, for example. This level of fine-tuning is being developed to meet customer demand, many of whom, according to Signify, wanted better control of their in-house lighting “while watching a movie… or [when] gaming.” The balancer is set to release in Q3 2023 and will work with every light model connected to the Philip Hue Entertainment area on the official app.
