Summary

  • Philips Hue has quietly added information about its new Secure video doorbell within its app, ahead of its official unveiling, expected in the fall.
  • The device appears in a section of the app that offers instructions for setting up devices without QR codes.
  • From what can be seen in the screenshots, the doorbell is wires and has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity for setup.
  • No further information is currently available, but speculation is that it will follow other recent Hue Secure devices in not supporting HomeKit Secure Video.
  • Instead, the doorbell will likely come with the usual features found in Hue’s other security cams, such as 1080p video, two-way talk, end-to-end encryption of recordings, as well as smart alerts for people, pets and vehicles.
