Philips Hue Bulbs Affected by Brightness Glitch

Signify identifies Matter standard issue causing lights to randomly switch to full brightness; fix expected within a week.

  • Philips Hue bulbs are unexpectedly switching to 100% brightness due to a Matter interoperability issue.
  • Signify, the parent company, has acknowledged the problem and is working on a permanent solution.
  • The bug is caused by temporary radio traffic disruptions misinterpreted as power toggles.
  • A small percentage of users are impacted, but a fix is anticipated within a week.
  • Users can temporarily disconnect the Hue Bridge from Matter to mitigate the issue.
