Philips Hue has introduced a third colour wheel to its smart lighting scenes. Users noticed its appearance within the app after the last update, despite Signify not acknowledging it.

Philips Hueis one smart lighting brand that doesn’t disappoint when it comes to new launches and updates. It’s constantly releasing new products, with theDymera outdoor smart lightandSecure floodlight camerabeing the latest additions. However, it’s the Philips Hue app that’s now had a bit of a refurbish, introducing a third colour wheel to its smart lighting scenes.

The app was updated last month to version 5.10.0, adding a number of different features, including improvements to security push notifications. Whilst Signify announced the update and confirmed a few of the new features, it didn’t include details of the new colour wheel. Users were shocked to come across this, as it’s quite a large update to the scenes feature altogether.

For example, my favourite scene isRioas I love the mix of rich reds, pinks and oranges. Now when I select the third colour wheel, I’m able to see even more shades of these colours, so I can choose the exact dynamic I want.

It’s not entirely clear why Signify hasn’t announced such a big update, but it may have had plans to include it in the next release.
