Experience light scenes like never before
Hue SpatialAwareTM scenes enable you to bring nature into your home, recreating natural light settings with remarkable realism by understanding the position of each light. This results in lighting that feels more immersive, dynamic and true to life.
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 SpatialAwareTM scenes, colors are distributed intentionally 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 is designed to be easy to use, with the Hue app guiding users through the entire process. By utilizing the latest Augmented Reality technologies, the camera on your smartphone or tablet scans your 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 at any time. The spatial model will be automatically enhanced when you rescan the updated area, allowing the light scenes to incorporate the new lights based on their positions.
Adding a new dimension to Hue’s Scene Gallery
Hue SpatialAwareTM 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 lifelike. 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 are cast in darker shades.
Once Hue SpatialAwareTM is released, the feature will be available to users visiting the Scene Gallery, allowing you to apply an optimized SpatialAware light scene or revert to the 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 migrate additional ones whenever they like. The only limit 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 expand to support more languages in the coming weeks, including Dutch, German, and Spanish, to provide users with troubleshooting support when needed.
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 can edit and rearrange the content in those screens for greater personalization.
