- Philips Hue appears to have accidentally revealed its upcoming Secure doorbell in a recent app update.
- It appears that the Hue Secure doorbell will be wired rather than battery-powered.
- The device hasn’t been officially announced yet but is expected to launch later in the year.
Leaks aren’t unusual in the tech world, but it’s less common for a company to leak its own unannounced hardware. Nevertheless, Philips Hue may have just spoiled its own smart home surprise. A new listing for a previously unknown smart doorbell has popped up in the Hue app, hinting that a Philips Hue Secure doorbell is on the way.
The leak was spotted by Hueblog, a site that closely follows Hue products. On one of the app’s new QR code setup menu screens, they spotted a listing for a Hue Secure doorbell. This is the first time the device has appeared in any official capacity, and there’s even a graphic of the device.
