New Philips Hue products have been leaked
There are 4 new lights plus a hub and a doorbell
It's not clear when they might launch
We're expecting some new Philips Hue smart lights in the not-too-distant future, and it seems the Signify-owned brand has got so excited about the upcoming products that it's leaked them early on its own website.
Pages listing the new devices were only live briefly, but before they got pulled they were spotted by Hueblog (via Android Authority). There are apparently four new models coming, plus a Hue Bridge update and a new video doorbell.
We've got two new smart lights in the Festivia string lights line: downward-facing lights intended for permanent outdoor installation, and a garland-style strip for decorating spaces with. It's likely both are going to be available in a variety of lengths, with the usual wealth of color and brightness customization choices for the bulbs themselves.

In addition, it looks as though Philips Hue is about to refresh its more basic light strip product, with a gradient function for the outdoor model and boosted brightness. Lastly, there's an updated version of the A19/E27 bulb, bringing with it a broader spectrum of colors and ultra-low dimming, while using 40 percent less energy.
Even more devices
We may get a video doorbell to go with the Hue Secure cameras (Image credit: Philips Hue)
On top of the bulbs, it seems Philips Hue is also going to launch a Hue Bridge Pro: according to the leaked description, it'll be faster, offer support for a greater number of devices, and add some fresh new features as well (quite possibly involving AI). It also promises to turn your smart lights into motion sensors.
Then there's a wired video doorbell, which would seem to be an extension of the Hue Secure series of home security cameras. The doorbell is listed as having a 2K resolution, which usually means 1440p – an upgrade on the 1080p resolution offered by the current cameras. It's a device that's previously been rumored.
What we don't get here are any details on pricing or availability, though it seems the wired video doorbell may launch later than the other bits of kit: it's listed as "coming soon" rather than "available now" on the now-pulled webpage.

One final tidbit from this leak is that Sonos voice control seems to be coming to Philips Hue systems, so you'll be able to use voice commands issued to your Sonos speakers to control the basics of your smart light network.
