Philips Hue – together with Live Nation – can almost bring a band into your living room! – Philips Lighting & Live Nation<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

In another Internet of Things (IoT) related move, a new video series from Philips Hue\u2019s connected lighting system, together with Live Nation, demonstrates how to transform peoples\u2019 living rooms into interactive music venues. By James Hunt:<\/p>\n

Royal Philips has collaborated with Live Nation Entertainment, said to be the world’s leading live entertainment company, to connect music fans everywhere through intimate emerging artist performances and interactive connected lighting using Philips\u2019 innovative Hue system.<\/p>\n

Hue has already been linked with a variety of other types and brand of product, such as Google\u2019s Nest intelligent thermostats and alarms, intelligent fridges, with Luna\u2019s smart bed (yes, truly!) and Apple\u2019s Watch and HomeKit \u2013 but this music interaction is believed to be a new development.<\/p>\n

It works like this\u2026<\/h3>\n

Through a series of exclusive online web-series videos, called the \u2018Living Light Sessions\u2019, music lovers everywhere will be able to watch up-and-coming artists perform songs from living rooms fitted with the Philips Hue connected lighting system.<\/p>\n

The inaugural Living Light Sessions performance, featuring British drum’n’bass band Rudimental, whose single \u2018Lay It All On Me\u2019 is currently charting globally, is now available online. Rudimental\u2019s performance video for this song can be seen, along with interview and tutorial clips in which the band learns how to use Philips Hue.<\/p>\n

Hue lamps can turn cerulean blue or sunset pink, and can dim or brighten wirelessly, and can even pulse along with speech rhythms \u2013 all at a smartphone or tablet command. So Hue allows homeowners to obtain full control over the light in their lives by setting the mood and changing the ambience using varying light output and colour. With tunable white light and a full spectrum of colour, all at the tap of a smartphone or tablet app, homeowners can set the ideal tone and enhance any moment \u2013 almost instantly.<\/p>\n

And now Hue, when paired with more than 450 third-party apps already available, can deliver what Philips calls almost \u2018limitless possibilities to create dynamic experiences in the home\u2019. This is especially so when synced by apps to music \u2013 pre-recorded or performed live, soft and soothing or thunderingly loud and exciting \u2013 it matters not; Philips Hue with Live Nation will cope with it all.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, it\u2019s not just already well-known bands that can benefit (along with music lovers) but emerging artists too \u2013 who can now enhance their performances and get their messages across to living rooms everywhere.<\/p>\n

Through Live Nation, five more artists will collaborate to create Philips Hue-inspired living room sets between now and April 2016, and new content will continue to be introduced, the organisations say.<\/p>\n

Light beyond illumination<\/h3>\n

Commented Scott Martin, Chief Marketing Officer, Philips Lighting North America: \u201cOur goal is to elevate light beyond illumination and we continue to see Philips Hue enthusiasts getting creative and using their imaginations to unlock new ways to use our connected lights.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusic provides\u201d, he said, \u201cthe perfect opportunity for people to create new immersive experiences every day in their homes.\u201d<\/p>\n

More about Philips Hue<\/h3>\n

The extensive Philips Hue connected ecosystem includes Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus<\/a>, portable luminaires such as Philips Hue Go<\/a>, dual-lighted fixtures such as Philips Hue Beyond<\/a>, control devices such as Philips Hue tap<\/a>, plus, of course, various lamps and luminaires.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s just been reported that because Philips\u2019 Hue uses a ZigBee wireless bridge to control lamps, and it has been found that some un-tested third party lamps don\u2019t work as well as Philips\u2019 own lamps this way, the company has now released an update to its bridge software to block third-party lamps.
