If you have tried to upgrade your smart home, it seems that Philips will make you covered with a brand new Philips Hue Bridge Pro which has impressive capacities (in cases almost unnecessarily).
Significant, the company behind the Philips Hue brand, accidentally disclosed the existence of the new bridge a few days ago alongside spoilers for new lights and a wired video bell, but another leak – this time via Lowe’s – integrated us into what improves the Pro bridge boasted beyond the general promises of its fastest and able to support more devices.
Lowe’s manages a program called Loop, which gives customers free samples of new and pre-liberated technologies, and it seems that such an article is the Philips Hue Bridge Pro. Several people have shared images and asked questions about the product on social networks – a tester who does not know what to do with the new bridge pro because they have no intelligent Philips Hue lights. 9TO5GOOGLE reports that some people even went to Facebook Marketplace to sell their pros.
These shenanigans have given us some key details. First, the bridge pro can support the more than 150 lights – a huge increase compared to the current limit of 50. This may seem exaggerated for small houses, but will sting the interest of anyone who currently uses several bridges to cover all of its house.
The Philips Hue Bridge Pro also promises to offer complete control of houses, so you can count on this compatible center in terms of managing more than Philips Hue technology.
The other much more interesting addition is hue motionware tech, which promises to transform your bulbs into motion sensors. Exactly how it has not been revealed, so it is not clear what Hue intelligent bulbs will support this upgrade, but it seems that the rooms with three or more bulbs will be able to detect people who pass and react accordingly.
He may use something like the ambient detection technology that standard Alliance communication has shown in a video earlier this year. Ambient detection is a use case built by a company called Ivani to demonstrate what is possible using the zigbee wireless protocol (which is used by Philips Hue Devices).
Now it would be intelligent and could give me a reason to fill my house with smart bulbs.
Even with these serious leaks, we have to take details with a pinch of latte – but if you ask us, it certainly seems that it is not so Philips will make its debut in the bridge pro.
IFA seems to be a probable event that will occur – since Berlin Tech Show is due in just a few weeks and Philips has already made its debut on technology – but we will have to wait and see.
