But a music sync integration with the SmartThings app could make the process easier - not to mention cheaper - for SmartThings users. There is also Philips Hue’s own Hue Sync App, which requires a computer, and that $250 Sync Box can manage the experience for music as well. Philips Hue’s color-changing LED lights can currently be synced with music to create a disco effect in your home using various third-party services, including Spotify and apps such as Hue Disco. Signify spokesperson Kelly Hrank told The Verge, “We are very excited for the partnership with Samsung SmartThings and are looking forward to sharing more details in the coming months, but we cannot confirm or deny any future roadmap plans.” However, Samsung’s statement does mention “enhanced music experiences.”
Neither Signify (which owns Philips Hue) nor Samsung would confirm specifics.
How Samsung’s SmartThings is thinking about Matter and the future of the smart home So, while native Philips Hue Sync support isn’t coming to a Samsung TV near you anytime soon (you’ll have to stick with the $250 Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box if you want to sync your smart lights with your Marvel movies for now), Samsung is cooking up something new with Philips Hue. “However, a few recent articles seem to have been written prematurely with inaccurate information.” “In the coming months, we hope to announce more details of an expanded partnership between Samsung SmartThings and Philips Hue that will provide enhanced music experiences,” said Samantha Fein, vice president of marketing and business development for SmartThings, in a written statement provided to The Verge.

This follows a report from SamMobile that claimed a new update to the SmartThings app would let users synchronize their Hue lights with what is playing on their TV. The company tells The Verge that it is working on enhanced music-based experiences that leverage Hue’s smart lighting.
Samsung is planning for deeper integration with Philips Hue lighting in its SmartThings smart home platform.
