Philips Hue Bridge gets update with new features for accessories
Philips Hue software version 1966117030 is rolling out to the Hue Bridge. This latest update brings support for two new features linked to other smart home products from the brand. Plus, the release notes indicate that these are general performance and stability improvements, though further details are not provided.
The first new tool is Do not disturb, allowing you to temporarily pause trigger notifications from Secure products like motion sensors and cameras, as well as any associated groups. This was one of several features announced at IFA 2024, alongside a new energy-saving tool and improved integrations with Amazon Alexa and Google Home. The second feature is for all Hue and Friends of Hue switches, like the Lutron Aurora. You can now use these devices to stop Timers and Mimic Presence automations.
Updates are pushed to the Hue Bridge automatically. To ensure you receive software version 1966117030, check that you have automatic updates enabled in the Hue app by going to Settings > Software update > Automatic update. Philips Hue also recently issued another update for its app, version 5.26.0, available for iOS and Android.
