Philips Hue app for iOS and Android updated with Arming schedule automation and support for folding phones
Philips Hue has released an update to its iOS and Android apps, version 5.34. The new version introduces the ability to set up automatic activation of Hue Secure devices on a schedule, as well as a new interface for folding phones, which is available only to some users.
Here's What We Know
The Philips Hue update to version 5.34 is now available for iOS and Android users. Changes in the versions vary.
The main new feature is the Arming schedule automation, which was noticed after the release of the previous update (version 5.33). Initially, the feature was blocked and not mentioned in the released notes. However, a few days later, users noticed its availability. This is the first official announcement from Philips Hue.

The Arming schedule automation allows you to set specific times to turn on or off Hue Secure devices, such as the Battery Camera. The tool can be found in the Automations section under the "+" icon, where you can select up to eight time slots with the ability to configure each day individually and create multiple schedules.
The Android changes also include a new split view for folding phones. The new split view allows for more efficient use of the screen by allowing more controls to be visible at the same time. This interface allows users to see more controls at once. The update can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
