Philips Hue Introduces AI That Configures Lights Using Simple Commands
Philips Hue introduced a new artificial intelligence feature for smart lighting at its annual event in Berlin. Users will be able to tell the app in ordinary sentences when and how the lights should operate. The app will create the appropriate rules itself. This will eliminate the need to configure buttons and timers separately by hand. The company believes this new feature will make it easier to set up complex lighting scenarios.
This is not the first use of artificial intelligence in Philips Hue products. In 2025, the company introduced an assistant that finds a ready-made lighting scene matching a written description or creates a new one. This year, the SpatialAware feature was launched for Philips Hue Bridge Pro. This feature adapts the lighting scene based on where the lights and light strips are located in the room. SpatialAware currently works only with Bridge Pro. Signify executive Marco Merolla said that both the feature and the device have been well received by users. In the next phase, large language models—systems that understand commands written in ordinary language—will be introduced. These systems will be able to create more complex rules tailored to the user's behavior. The goal is to create any lighting environment with a simple command.
The Philips Hue Play Screen Sync system, which creates lighting effects that match the image on a TV, was also demonstrated at the event. Because the system uses a camera instead of an HDMI connection, it does not depend on the video source. Sync Box 4K was introduced as a more affordable option. This model complements the Philips Hue Play Sync Box 8K, which went on sale in September 2024. The 2 boxes and Screen Sync can all operate without the need to purchase a separate Philips Hue Bridge. Only 1 light strip can be used in this type of setup. According to the company, this makes it possible to try TV-synchronized lighting without buying an entire system. The new products also include a 360-degree flexible light from the Liane series and the Signe floor lamp. In the future, Philips Hue plans to better combine exterior design and lighting effects such as color transitions in the same product.
