Philips Hue's new Smart Button has a bigger design and a higher price.

The new button is almost twice the size, with a 45mm diameter ( about 1.8 inches ) versus 32mm .

It’s now more angular and flatter, versus the more bulbous style of the prior model.

Hue is already one of the most expensive smart lighting brands, and based on an email the company sent to users earlier this month , it may be getting even more expensive.
