  • Philips Hue is launching several new smart light products.
  • The company has also announced that it is previewing a backup and restore feature.
  • Backup and restore will allow users of the Hue Bridge and Bridge Pro to back up their settings to the Hue cloud.

Due to leaks, it’s been known for a few months now that Philips Hue would have some new products to show off later in the year. Some of those products include new Festavia lights and a camera for Hue Sync. Sure enough, the company has finally announced its next slate of lighting solutions. In addition to the new smart lights, Philips Hue is also giving users a highly requested feature.

Backup and restore

Starting with the new feature, Philips Hue announced that it is previewing a backup and restore function. With backup and restore, users of the Hue Bridge and Bridge Pro will be able to back up their settings to the Hue cloud. That means you’ll now be able to save settings, accessories, rooms, zones, scenes, automations, and more in case anything happens. This is something that many users have been wanting for years.
