Philips Hue is getting an AI-powered lighting assistant
Philips Hue users will soon be able to create their own AI-powered lighting scenes, the company announced on Tuesday.
Philips Hue’s new generative AI lighting assistant lets users create personalized lighting scenes based on occasion, mood, or style. They can do so by typing commands like “Give me a scene for a garden party” into the Hue app and also by using their voice. The assistant will then either recommend scenes from the existing Philips Hue gallery or create a new one entirely. In addition to creating scenes, the AI assistant can also be used to adjust the settings of existing lights, including brightness levels and color.
The news comes after Hueblog reported that Philips Hue was working on a generative AI feature in October. According to Hueblog, the “AI Playground” lets users create lighting scenes based on typed text like “Create a scene for a children’s birthday party,” but there was no mention of voice commands.
Philips Hue isn’t the first to offer an AI-powered lighting assistant. Govee’s AI Lighting Bot generates similar dynamic lighting effects and also responds to voice prompts. Meanwhile, Nanoleaf’s “Magic Scenes” feature creates similar scenes, too, but only responds to typed short phrases like “tropical paradise.”
Philips Hue says the AI assistant will be compatible with all of its lights. The company hasn’t divulged details about its exact availability, but stated it’ll start rolling out in the first quarter of 2025.
The AI-powered lighting assistant isn’t the only piece of news Philips Hue announced on Tuesday. The Philips Hue Sync TV app now supports LG TVs, while the color-changing Philips Hue Datura ceiling light is now available in the US starting at $299.99. The frameless ceiling panel offers a pair of individually controllable lights and customizable color effects.
Philips Hue also announced new smart home security features, including smoke alarm sound detection and the ability to stream live camera feeds to Amazon Alexa and the Google Nest Hub. Users can also now check out live camera views or schedule system settings straight from their devices.
