Philips Hue Bulbs Gain Concurrent Multiprotocol Support

Signify, parent company of Philips Hue, announced concurrent multiprotocol technology for select Hue bulbs, developed with Silicon Labs. A software update later this year lets bulbs run Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Thread simultaneously, removing the previous choice between Hue Bridge features via Zigbee or a direct Matter-over-Thread connection.
