“This marks a new era in smart lighting. Our AI assistant is just the beginning of a smarter, more intuitive home experience.”

“We’re proud to extend the Philips Hue Sync TV app to LG TVs, making it easier than ever for our users to enjoy immersive entertainment lighting direct from their TV,” continued Smith. “This partnership is a mark of our commitment to more strongly connect Philips Hue to the smart home ecosystem.”
