  • +Provides motionsense
  • +Publishes all connected devices via matter

Cons

  • Migration limitations to pro bridge
  • Limits how many products customers will buy
  • Not a seamless experience with multiple bridges
  • Average consumer would give up once the bridge is full
Only took them 12 years to release a bridge that holds more products. Gotta love Phillips strategy to create a key portion of the product that limits how many products customers will buy.

  • +Unique wake-up alarm gradient
  • +Can slowly transition to warmer colors over time
