MagyarPhilips Hue users report missing helpful information in app
The Philips Hue app appears to be missing a feature that tells users how many lights are switched on in a room or zone. Previously, customers would see messages like “All lights are on” or “2 lights are on” within the room or zone banners displayed in the app’s Home view. The note would appear between the room name and the brightness adjustment slider.
The missing feature from the Philips Hue app was spotted by Hueblog.de reader Yoshi, with several users confirming the same issue and suggesting that they found the information helpful. However, it appears that only customers managing their smart home devices via the iOS app are affected, with Android users indicating that they still see the note. It could be that this change occurred during the latest iOS app update, version 5.12.0, which arrived on March 6th with “various bug fixes and stability improvements”. A corresponding software for Android does not appear to have rolled out; the previous update here was on February 8th to version 5.10.0.
Signify has yet to comment on the change to the iOS app, leaving customers uncertain whether the feature will reappear in the future. It remains to be seen whether the next Philips Hue Android app update will also remove this additional information from the Home page.
