Philips Hue Bridge Pro Leak Overview
Philips is preparing to launch its long-awaited Hue Bridge Pro, a massive upgrade over the nearly decade-old 2nd generation bridge. Thanks to recent leaks, we know that this new It device will feature faster performance, more capacity, and innovative motion sensing features.
The leak appeared briefly on Philips Hue’s own website before being removed, but screenshots and Reddit posts confirmed many details.
Why the Philips Hue Bridge Pro Matters
For years, users have been asking for a smarter, more powerful hub. The current It bridge only supports 50 lights and 12 accessories. With more homes adopting It smart lighting, limits are being reached quickly.
The Philips Hue Bridge Pro promises:
- Support for up to 150 lights and 50 accessories
- Faster response times (up to 5x quicker)
- Wireless Wi-Fi connectivity alongside Ethernet
This means smart homes will finally scale without slowdowns.
It MotionAware: Lights as Motion Sensors
One of the most exciting new features is It MotionAware. This technology turns your It Hue bulbs into motion sensors without needing separate hardware.
How does it work? Early reports suggest It may be using technology similar to Ivani’s Sensify platform, which allows Zigbee-based devices to detect movement.
If MotionAware works as advertised, It lights could double as both illumination and security sensors a first for the brand.
It Bridge Pro Performance Upgrades
The leaked specs show that It isn’t holding back:
- Quad-core Cortex 1.7GHz processor
- 8GB of RAM (a massive leap from the current 16MB)
- 500 customizable lighting scenes
- USB-C power input
- Wireless Wi-Fi setup option
This means the Hue ecosystem will run smoother, faster, and with less dependency on cables.
