"Philips Hue could be the real star of IFA 2025 with the biggest launch in the history of the smart lighting company. It's introducing its first video doorbell and a completely redesigned Hue Bridge Pro with a faster processor and more memory letting it control 150 lights and 50 accessories and store over 500 custom lighting scenes. The new bridge also enables a new feature called Hue MotionAware that lets the company's smart lights double as motion sensors."
"To make the smart home even more accessible, Philips Hue is also introducing a more affordable entry-level Essential line with smart bulbs that start at $25 or as low as $15 each when purchased in multipacks and support for Thread. All new Hue bulbs also support Matter-over-Thread, allowing them to pair directly with Matter ecosystems, including Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa, without requiring a Hue Bridge."
