If you have been looking to update your smart home, it seems that Philips will cover it with a new Philips Hue Bridge Pro that has some impressive abilities (in almost unnecessarily) cases.
It means, the company behind the Philips Hue brand accidentally leaked the existence of the new bridge a few days ago along with the spoilers of new lights and a cable video door, but another leak, this time through Lowe’s, has realized what the Bridge Pro has updates beyond the general promises that it is faster and capable of supporting more devices.
Lowe’s executes a program called Loop, which gives customers free new technology shows and prior to launch, and it seems that one of those articles is Philips Hue Bridge Pro. Several people have shared images and asked questions about the product on social networks, with a completely insecure tester of what to do with the new Bridge Pro, since they do not have smart lights Philips Hue. 9to5google informs that some people have even taken Facebook Marketplace to sell their professional bridges.
These pranks have given us some key details. In the first place, the Bridge Pro is supposed to admit more than 150 lights: a large increase from the current limit of 50. That may seem exaggerated for smaller houses, but will arouse the interest of anyone who currently uses multiple bridges to cover their entire house.
Philips Hue Bridge Pro also promises to offer full total control, so he could trust this center compatible with matter to administer more than only Philips Hue technology.
The other much more interesting addition is Hue Motionaware Tech, which promises to turn its bulbs into movement sensors. Exactly how this works has not been revealed, so it is not clear what smart bulbs will admit this update, but it seems that the rooms with three bulbs or more will be able to detect the people who pass and react accordingly.
It is possible that you can use something such as environmental detection technology that the communication standards alliance showed in a video earlier this year. Environmental detection is a case of use built by a company called Ivani to demonstrate what is possible using the Zigbee wireless protocol (which uses Philips Hue) devices.
Now that would be intelligent and I could give me a reason to fill my home with smart bulbs.
Even with these serious leaks, we must take details with a hint of slats, although if he asks us, it certainly seems to be a matter of when not if Philips will debut the Bridge Pro.
Ifa seems to be a probable event that will happen, since Berlin Tech Show is due in just a couple of weeks and Philips has debuted to Tech there before, but we will have to wait and see.
