New Language Support
With the launch of version 5.60.1, the Philips Hue app’s AI assistant now supports three additional languages: Spanish, German, and Dutch. This feature began its rollout in June 2025, initially only available in English. The assistant can suggest lighting scenes or create personalized lighting effects based on your preferences. Users can interact with the assistant through voice or text commands in the chat.
Enhanced Camera Features
Another notable addition is for Philips Hue wired cameras, such as the Secure Wired camera (currently priced at $122.99 on Amazon Marketplace). Users can now establish a custom motion detection zone that activates linked smart lights. This can be specifically set for people, pets, or cars. To adjust this feature, navigate to Camera settings > Trigger lights > Trigger area. Furthermore, those with the Hue Secure Wired video doorbell can now select the chime sound that greets their visitors. To choose your preferred sound, go to Doorbell settings > Doorbell sound.
You can easily get the Philips Hue app version 5.60.1 for iOS via the Apple App Store, or for Android through the Google Play Store.
