This is the lighting brand’s first integration with a music playback system. The goal is to provide its users with a more immersive experience while enjoying their favorite music.
Spotify is now integrated into the Philips Hue app
This association will allow the lighting system in your home to react according to the music you are listening to. It is a real-time integration, which allows the lights to change their behavior and color according to a certain song.
The rhythm of the music, its genre or the mood are some of the decisive factors for the behavior of Philips Hue lights. It is important, however, to emphasize that this will only work with colored lights, therefore this may require an additional investment for those who want to take advantage of this novelty.
This integration between Spotify and Philips Hue will be carried out through the application of the latter. In it you will find a new “Synchronize” tab where you can customize various parameters of your experience.
There you will find the necessary options so that your lights react the way you want to your favorite songs. It will be possible to modify its brightness, intensity, patterns and colors for a truly unique effect.
The reaction between the music and the Philips Hue lights will be mediated by a new algorithm capable of analyzing the metadata of each song in real time. Only then will you find a perfect reaction and you will not need additional microphones.
This means that you can sing while listening to your music without interfering with light reaction patterns. It will also be possible to use the smartphone while the music is playing without side effects.
This integration between Spotify and Philips Hue starts today in the Philips Hue 4 app. It is still in an early access phase, so you can only enjoy the news when you receive a notification. Its general availability will take place from October 2021.
