Configuring your Philips shade and sensors is now headache-free thanks to this free app update

• A new update for the Philips Hue Mobile app is now rolling out
• The app now proposes to add new sensors and switches to a zone during the installation process
• This prevents a problem where lighting scenes are not available later

If you have ever had trouble setting up new sensors and switches for you Philips Hue Lights, help is at hand. A new app update is now being rolled out now that automatically proposes to add accessories to a zone when you connect them for the first time, so that you will not miss functions later.

A zone is a set of lights and other accessories that you want to control as a group. They do not necessarily have to be in the same place or to include all lights in a room. For example, you may want to make a zone specifically for your entertainment lighting for home, or one that contains all lights on a certain floor.
