Philips Hue revolutionizes lighting design with Hue SpatialAware Scenes

Experience light scenes like never before

Hue SpatialAware^TM scenes enable you to bring nature into your home, recreating natural light settings with stunning realism by understanding the position of each light. The experience not only feels more immersive and dynamic, it also adds new depth to the smart home experience.

Currently, when using preset scenes from the Scene Gallery in the Hue app, colors are distributed without knowledge of their relative positions across the products in a room. With Hue SpatialAware^TM scenes, it’s like having your Philips Hue setup instantly curated by a professional lighting designer: colors are distributed intelligently across all the lights in the room to create the most natural representation. 

Simply scan your room, and voila!

The new feature is available to Bridge Pro users and incredibly easy to use, since the Hue app guides you through the entire process. By using the latest Augmented Reality technologies, the camera on your smartphone or tablet is used to scan the room to determine the position of each light, and the algorithm ensures the light scene is beautifully orchestrated across the room.

After the setup is complete, you can easily add more lights to your room and at any time, and the spatial model of the room will be automatically enhanced after scanning the updated portion of the room, allowing the light scenes to incorporate them based on their positions. 
 

Adding a new dimension to Hue’s Scene Gallery

Hue SpatialAware^TM is compatible with approximately half of the remastered light scenes available in the Scene Gallery. It is primarily designed to get the most out of nature-inspired scenes like Lake mist, Mountain breeze, Savanna sunset, and Lake placid.
 

In a SpatialAware enhanced room, light scenes feel much more immersive and truer to life. For a sunset scene, for example, the lamps on one side of the room show warm yellow tones to mimic the setting sun, while the ceiling lights on the opposite side of the room would be cast in darker shades.
 

Once Hue SpatialAware^TM is released, the feature is available to users visiting the Scene Gallery allowing you to apply an optimized SpatialAware light scene, or when preferred to revert to current mode.
 

Additional launches and announcements:
 

Apple Home support
 

The wired Hue Secure camera, Hue Secure video doorbell, and Hue contact sensors will soon work seamlessly with Apple Home. Starting in the coming months, users will be able to stream live video in Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode on Apple TV and receive real-time alerts via the Apple Home app.
 

Multi-Bridge migration support
 

When installing a new Bridge Pro, originally launched in September 2025, users can now select multiple Bridges to replace, or they can migrate additional ones whenever they like. The only limit to the number of Bridges is the capacity of the Bridge Pro.
 

More improvements to the AI assistant
 

Philips Hue’s AI-powered assistant has been updated and can now create automations based on user requests (e.g. “wake me up at 6:45 am every day except Wednesdays"). Additionally, the assistant will be extended to support more languages in the coming weeks, including Dutch, German, and Spanish and to guide users to the right troubleshooting articles if they indicate they are having issues with their system.
 

Improved visualization of content in Rooms and Zones
 

Automations for lights and accessories will be shown in the Rooms and Zones they control, making it easier to adjust wake-up times in the bedroom and set timers for kitchen lights, for example. Users will be able to edit and rearrange the content in those screens for greater personalization.
