Philips Hue Play Screen Sync lets you synchronize your smart lights with content from any source, including your smart TV's native streaming apps.
Philips Hue has introduced a new Screen Sync system called Hue Play Screen Sync, eliminating the need for an HDMI Sync Box. This system utilizes a fisheye camera to monitor and synchronize with any TV screen source, including native streaming apps. The Hue Play Screen Sync event in Berlin also showcased Custom AI Behaviors, allowing users to create lighting automations through natural language descriptions.
Additionally, the introduction of a 4K version of the Hue Sync Box for cheaper single-light syncing via Bluetooth and collaborations with Nanoleaf and Sonos were announced. New smart lights such as Festavia curtain lights, Liane 360-degree rope light, and OmniGlow outdoor strip light were also revealed, promising an immersive entertainment experience.
