Philips Hue Bridge: New upgraded version could be on the way

[Redaktion]

Philips Hue is rumored to be working on a new version of a popular product: the Hue Bridge. The latest version of this smart home hub launched nearly a decade ago, though it has received many improvements in software releases. According to a recent report, the Hue Bridge v3 could have a couple of upgrades over its predecessor.

Setting up now still hit miss and useless.

Just bought v2 to replace v1. Never again. Clearly planned obsolescence!

....right! The one you just bought (v2) is a model from 2016... How dare they change models every 10 years or so! Clearly planned obsolescence!

But I have good news for you: Hue typically supports its stuff for ages, suppoort for the v1, the predecessor from 2012 does not get any software updates anymore since 2020, 5 years after the next bridge came to market. So I would count on at least 5 years support...
