QUICK SUMMARY
The new Philips Hue app update means it's now possible to control Hue lights via a widget. Hue widgets can be added to the Apple Home Screen, Lock Screen or Today View, and can be used for controlling lights and other accessories.
It was already possible to control Philips Hue smart lights via widgets by adding them into the iOS Home app, but this only allowed users to turn the lights on/off. The new widgets can now adjust the brightness and colour of lights, as well as set schedules and activate scenes.
Despite starting up just over 10 years ago, Philips Hue is the biggest smart lighting brand within the industry. Not only does it regularly launch new products, but it continues to introduce exciting updates just as often.
