Philips Hue users have been left feeling dissatisfied after a recent technical bug started affecting a variety of indoor and outdoor lights. Despite setting the lights at a specific level, users would experience their lights randomly skyrocket up to 100% brightness.

As of this week, Signify has announced a new Philips Hue Bridge update designed to combat the problem. In apress release, the smart lighting brand called the bug a “Matter interoperability issue” and that “the firmware will be gradually rolled out to all Bridges over the coming days.”

Despite thebest Philips Hue lightsbeing a first choice for many smart home enthusiasts, it can be frustrating when a bug like this affects their usability. It’s therefore lucky that Signify has acted so quickly, and that the problem should disappear within a few days.
