"Smart lighting company Philips Hue debuted a bunch of new products this week at the IFA tech show in Berlin, Germany, and most of them are available now. The launch, which is the biggest in the company's history, includes cheaper smart lights, a new bridge for its Zigbee ecosystem, a redesigned line of light strips, and new software features and connectivity capabilities. Hue also introduced its first video doorbell and an upgraded camera to its Hue Secure line."
"The Hue Bridge Pro ($89.99 / €89.99) is a total redesign of the ecosystem's central hub and the first upgrade to Hue's bridge in 10 years. It connects to Hue's Zigbee bulbs and accessories to add features like lighting scenes, dynamic effects, schedules, and out-of-home control. Sporting a new black look, it has a faster processor, more memory, and increased capacity."
"Designed to appeal to Hue super-users, it can connect 150 lights and 50 accessories (a soft limit) - that's three times the capacity of the V2 bridge, which is not being retired. Additionally, the Pro can store over 500 custom lighting scenes and provide faster response times, according to Signify, Hue's parent company."
