That is at least until it decides on one.Take Full Control of Philips Hue Smart Lights Philips is, of course, pushing its second-gen Bridge with the promise that it doesn’t have a scheduled end-of-life. That said, the Hue Bridge v1 will still continue working inside your home, just not for what it was primarily intended to do. Dissatisfied owners should have probably made plans by then.

Users have reported that they have been warned once in a while by Google Assistant that it would stop working with the first-gen Philips Hue Bridge starting June 22, Monday. In fact, it was surprising that even Google Assistant voice controls still worked as long as your phone and the Hue Bridge were sitting on the same local Wi-Fi network. Of course, the Bridge still worked locally with other connected appliances. For an Internet of Things or IoT device, that was close as you could get to a death sentence. Back then, what is said was that it was cutting off support as well as the bridge’s Internet access on April 30, 2020.

This shouldn’t really come as a surprise since Philips already announced the end for its first Hue Bridge way back in March.
