Philips Hue products get battery life optimization settings in new app update
Philips Hue has brought new features to its app with version 5.26.0. This update is available for iOS and Android users, and the change log lists two improvements for customers with Secure camera devices.
The first update is for products like the Philips Hue Secure Battery camera. You can now optimize the device’s settings to prolong battery life, a feature teased at IFA 2024. Precisely what these settings are and how much extra runtime they provide remains unclear. The second update adds a Wi-Fi signal strength indicator to the camera’s live view. Other features for Secure cameras announced at IFA, such as improved integrations with Google Home and Amazon Alexa, do not appear to be included in this update.
Users are also still waiting for new lighting effects and an AR feature to land in the app. This release follows a major update for the Philips Hue smart security devices, which landed in August, bringing a range of new tools and bug fixes to these products. To get these two new features for Secure devices, you can download the Philips Hue app version 5.26.0 from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
