But they have said on their current Kickstarter page, that the new DreamScreen HD/4K models (with WiFi connection) WILL get Hue support. They have already done some preliminary work on the interface, and they expect to have it ready by November. wasnt November what they said last year ? I think I read something that the current speed isnt good and they need to test a bridge update from Philips Given the work to do to fix HDR/Chroma plus Dolby Vision I wouldnt bank on features that arent delivered yet I would also think that Alexa support is higher on the list to be implemented than Hue

Yeah, earlier last year they said they expected to have that ready by November... but that was, when they still expected to have all the DreamScreen HD and 4K units shipped by the end of August (2017). Given the set of delays they have encountered, I think "~3 months after all units are shipped" is probably a more reasonable estimate.

We have been backlogged to say the least. But most of the new functionalities/integrations coming out are working, the exception being Hue. We initially implemented Philip's HTTP interface, but their new streaming Entertainment API was released earlier this month. The implementation is more complex and heavy, but we did confirm it will work; just need to finish porting over. The increase in performance is definitely worth the effort.

Hi Kyle! Are there any news about this topic? I think it's really the last needed thing to completely replace the Philips TV features.

Please expect an announcement about integrations later in the year. Our goal is to make the announcement in April.

Looking forward to this. However, I have the gen 1 hue hub and bulbs. Is this likely to work or would they need an upgrade?
Thanks

After a little digging I assume the DS planned hue integration will use the new hue entertainment API which i understand only works on the gen 2 hub. Would be good to get clarity on that but eitherway you can purchase hubs separately these days!

Our goal is to make the announcement in April The Integrations going live is going to be the final piece to my home entertainment puzzle especially after adding a Sonos Soundbar and Sub into the mix. Once Harmony can control the DreamScreen I'll be able to put away all other remotes and my phone when switching between inputs and the Hue integration will be the icing on the cake. Keep up the good work and if you need Beta testers, just ask!

I can confirm that Hue Entertainment will only work on Philips Hue v2 bridges (the square ones). I do not know of any restrictions on the bulbs themselves besides the fact they must be color-capable.
For anyone not already on the list, PM me your email to Beta test the new Hue integration.

Curious if there are any updates on this. Half way through April.... how close to release are we? I'm excited for this. I've got a butt ton of hue lights ready for integration with dream screen.
