There’s finally a fix for this device-killing smart home glitch

TL;DR

• Philips is rolling out a new update for the Hue Bridge Pro following reports of bricked devices.


• While an update from early June was reported to be the cause of the problem, not every user experienced this issue.


• The company previously stated that less than 100 Hue Bridge Pros were affected globally by this particular glitch.

While software updates are designed to fix existing bugs and sometimes introduce features, things don’t always pan out that way. We saw this happen to Philips Hue Bridge Pro users some weeks ago, when an update bricked some smart home hubs. Well, it has taken a couple of weeks, but there’s finally some good news on this front.

Philips is rolling out a new update for the Hue Bridge Pro that patches this irritating bug. For its part, the company had previously clarified that fewer than 100 units were impacted globally since the issue came to light some weeks ago (via Hueblog).
