Philips Hue reverses decision to break compatibility with competitors' peripherals

Philips has announced it is to issue an update to its Hue lighting hub that reverses the move to intentionally scupper third-party lightbulbs, following consumer pressure. The company also announced a "Friends of Hue" certification programme for third-party suppliers to ensure full compatibility. Philips said that it "underestimated the impact [the change] would have upon the small number of our customers who currently use uncertified lights from other brands in the Philips Hue system."
