Philips Hue Expands to Control Existing Lighting With New Wall Modules

Philips Hue is expanding beyond smart bulbs with new in-wall relay modules that bring existing non-smart lighting under centralized control. This addresses a critical gap for consumers hesitant to replace entire lighting systems, making smart home adoption more accessible and cost-effective. The addition of Matter-over-Thread connectivity strengthens ecosystem integration, though the current Europe-only launch limits near-term impact.
