Philips Hue users will soon be able to create their own AI-powered lighting scenes, the company announced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Philips Hue\u2019s 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 \u201cGive me a scene for a garden party\u201d 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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The news comes after Hueblog<\/a> reported that Philips Hue was working on a generative AI feature in October. According to Hueblog, the \u201cAI Playground\u201d lets users create lighting scenes based on typed text like \u201cCreate a scene for a children\u2019s birthday party,\u201d but there was no mention of voice commands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Philips Hue isn\u2019t the first to offer an AI-powered lighting assistant. Govee\u2019s AI Lighting Bot<\/a> generates similar dynamic lighting effects and also responds to voice prompts. Meanwhile, Nanoleaf\u2019s \u201cMagic Scenes\u201d feature<\/a> creates similar scenes, too, but only responds to typed short phrases like \u201ctropical paradise.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Philips Hue says the AI assistant will be compatible with all of its lights. The company hasn\u2019t divulged details about its exact availability, but stated it\u2019ll start rolling out in the first quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The AI-powered lighting assistant isn\u2019t the only piece of news Philips Hue announced on Tuesday. The Philips Hue Sync TV app now supports LG TVs, while the\u00a0color-changing Philips Hue\u00a0Datura<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n 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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
