Smart home purveyor Signify has finally launched its new Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box 8K, alongside the new Ensis pendant light and several new software enhancements.
A bug that is cranking Philips Hue smart bulbs to 100% randomly appears to be related to Matter. A fix is coming, but there's a temporary work-around for the problem.
The delayed addition of Matter to the Philips Hue range of smart home products is reportedly now live in an update available to the company's bridge devices.
Your HomeKit Insider podcast hosts go in-depth on the Apple Vision Pro's visionOS plus tvOS, break down some new smart light news, and update you on the best smarthome news of the week.
As promised, the budget-friendly WiZ smart home accessory line has now adopted Matter, bringing the smart lights into Apple's Home app for the first time.
The deadline that Philips set for Matter support in Hue smart bulbs and lights is about to go zooming by, and it's not clear when the update will arrive.
