PhilipsWhat separates the Philips hue bridge 1st and 2nd generation?
What more can the 2nd generation offer and is it worth it to switch to it if you have the 1st generation?
If we ignore the physical difference between the products which is only esthetical, there are a few key differences that separate Philips Hue Bridge 1 and 2.
The Philips Hue Bridge 2nd gen has included compatibility for Apple HomeKit and the Siri support, which means a voice-controlled virtual assistant support, compatible with the smart home products.
Another of the features is providing firmware updates and a better, more effective operating method for the new Hue bulbs.
Unfortunately, after April 30, 2020, there are no more software updates or support available for the Philips Hue Bridge 1.
