I love myPhilips Huelights: I’ve got smart bulbs in every room, a sync box and gradient strip for my TV and I’m keen to get my hands on the outdoor portable Hue light that’s coming in late summer. I think Hue is thebest smart lighting systemaround, and it’s about to get a whole lot better. I know this thanks to a new leak from, er, Hue.
Hue is bringing new Natural Light scenes to its Scene Gallery, and while the feature hasn’t launched yet Hue accidentally enabled it in the app.Hueblog.comreader Sebastian spotted it before Philips removed it again: the scene was available via the new search feature coming to the Scene Gallery, but it’s since been taken out.
I hope they put it back soon, because this is a really great feature.
Why natural light will brighten your day
I spent many years in horrible buildings lit with horrible artificial light, and the difference decent, more natural light makes is really dramatic. In a typical office environment artificial light makes me feel really lethargic and tends to bring on headaches; stick me next to a window and I’ll feel and work much better. Unfortunately I live in Scotland so even that’s only available some of the year: once we get past the summer months I’m firing up the SAD lamp and munching vitamin D.
Philips isn’t the first to bring this kind of lighting to smart homes:Appleintroduced Adaptive Lighting for HomeKit lights iniOS14, with compatibility for the likes of Hue and Eve. But having it right there in the Hue app means it’s going to be available to many more people, and as the good weather starts to fade in the coming months that means it’ll help a lot of people feel better too.
