Do you enjoy setting the mood with your Philips Hue lights? Well, now you can enhance your TV viewing experience even more with Samsung SmartThings‘ new subscription option for its integration with Philips Hue.
Previously, unlocking the Philips Hue Sync TV app required a one-time payment of $130. But now, you have the choice to pay just $3 each month for the subscription.
What does the Philips Hue subscription plan offer?
The Philips Hue subscription plan offers users the ability to sync their Philips Hue smart lights with the content displayed on their TV screens through the Sync TV app. This synchronization creates a more immersive viewing experience by dynamically adjusting the colors of the lights to match those on the TV. The subscription plan provides an alternative payment option for accessing this feature, allowing users to pay a monthly fee of $3 instead of the traditional one-time fee of $130.
This offers greater flexibility for users who may prefer a recurring payment model over a single upfront cost.
Samsung wants to make your smart home experience better
The Sync TV app has been available for users with certain Samsung TVs since January 2023. It syncs your Philips Hue lights with the colors on your TV screen, making your viewing experience more immersive. And the best part? You don’t need any extra hardware.
Mark Benson, head of SmartThings US, is thrilled about this collaboration. He says it’s all about making your smart home experience better.
If you already have Philips Hue lights and want to sync them with your TV, you can still pay $130 for a one-time unlock. But now, you have the option to pay $3 each month instead.
Some people might not like subscription models, but having choices is always good. Hue understands this and is giving users more flexibility with their payment options.
In summary, the Philips Hue Sync TV app now offers a monthly subscription option, making it easier and more affordable to sync your lights with your TV. Whether you prefer a one-time payment or a monthly subscription, Philips Hue is here to light your world.
