Your Philips Hue Bridge will be Matter compatible
Of course, the smart home’s most popular smart bulbs are a part of this maelstrom of Matter news. The Philips Hue Bridge will get its Matter update by the first quarter of next year. Beyond that, not much else will change. “Users will continue to enjoy the wide range of features to personalize their homes with Philips Hue smart lighting, including scenes, automated schedules, advanced entertainment possibilities like sync with Spotify, and more,” writes Signify, the parent company behind Philips Hue. The only two Philips Hue devices not receiving a Matter update are the Hue Play HDMI sync box and the Hue Tap Dial Switch.
Your previous settings and personalizations will carry over in the Philips Hue app even after the bridge is updated to Matter. However, Apple HomeKit users will need to reset to connect via Matter the first time around.
