Thought the Philips Hue Bridge Pro was expensive? It’s just been hit with a huge global price hike — but there’s a new software update that cushions the blow
Prices for the Philips Hue Bridge Pro have gone up by $40, but new 'Bridgeless Sync' could be a game-changer.
The Philips Hue Bridge Pro has experienced a steep price increase of at least 40%. This is in addition to multi-packs of Hue Essential lamps and spotlights, which have also seen a price rise. However, a recent software update provides a glimmer of relief for consumers. Known as 'Bridgeless Sync', this update allows certain Philips Hue devices to communicate with each other via Bluetooth, eliminating the need for a Bridge or Bridge Pro hub.
Not only does this streamline the setup process, but it also helps reduce the overall cost of establishing a Philips Hue smart home ecosystem.
