Turn your room into a party room with this new feature from Philips. The company's Hue lights can now be linked to your Spotify account. It's already possible to get your lights to do this with the Hue Sync tool for PC, which can capture what you're listening to and translate that to the light script. Philips now promises a deeper integration and a "unique immersive" experience you can activate through your mobile device.
Linking your Philips Hue app with your Spotify will allow the app to extract metadata from the song played, no matter what device. It can instruct your lights to dance to the beat and react based on the genre and mood. You can also still adjust the lights' brightness, colour palette, and intensity.
Philips is rolling this feature out globally right now, but it's still in its early access phase. It's accessible on version 4.0 of the app through the Explore section. Tap on the Philips Hue + Spotify card to enable the feature, and then follow the instructions. You will need colour-capable Hue lights connected to the second-gen Hue Bridge to get this feature to work.
