Philips Hue Accidentally Reveals Upcoming Wired Secure Doorbell in App Update

Philips Hue Doorbell Leak An upcoming Philips Hue doorbell has been accidentally leaked through an update to the Hue app, confirming details about its design and a significant limitation.

• Design: The device features a classic doorbell design with a camera in the upper part and a bell button with an LED ring below it, resembling the Ring doorbell.
• Encryption: The need for a QR code suggests the use of encrypted video, with the code providing the encryption key to the app.
• Installation: A major limitation is that the Philips Hue Secure Doorbell will only be suitable for wired installation, making it necessary to replace an existing wired doorbell or install new wiring. This contrasts with many battery-operated smart doorbells that are more versatile for different living situations.
