Philips Hue smart lights buddy up with Samsung, Bosch and Logitech Internet of Things things

Philips has announced that Bosch, Logitech and Samsung SmartThings-branded appliances will now work with its Hue smart lights.
This means that you’ll be able to do things like have your Hue lights come on or flash a certain colour if things like smoke alarms, motion sensors and heating controls are triggered.
Philips’s business leader of connected home systems Sridhar Kumaraswamy says that expanding the ‘Friends of Hue’ ecosystem builds on previous partnerships with the likes of Nest and Apple.
Kumaraswamy said: "All of these Friends of Hue partnerships strengthen the impact of lighting to help realize the Internet of Things for homes.
"By integrating our lights with innovations from our partners, we can deliver new lighting experiences today and far into the future, unlocking the value of light beyond illumination.
