Philips Hue Introduces Custom AI Behaviors for Smart Lighting Automation
At IFA 2026, Philips Hue announced new software updates that enhance its automation capabilities through an AI-powered feature called Custom AI Behaviors. This allows users to describe in natural language how they want their smart lights and connected devices to behave, enabling complex automations previously not possible within the app. The update also includes integration with Sonos speakers via select Hue switches, allowing control over audio playback functions such as play/pause, volume adjustment, and track navigation. These features will be available through a software update in November 2026. Custom AI Behaviors require the processing power of Philips’ Bridge Pro and are currently in beta testing.
