Is this first or second generation? null

So, the difference between the 1st and 2nd generation bridge is that the 1st one is round. The second one is square and it's the same one you can find in the newest packages that brings the 3rd generation lightbulbs. For the lightbulbs, if the letters are written in silver color they are second generation, but if the letters are in gold, they are the 3rd and newest generation, which means the colors are more vibrant than the second generation, of course this only applies to the colored lightbulbs that are not included in this kit. All lightbulbs are supposed to work with both bridges. This particular kit brings the square bridge that is the second generation and the old lightbulbs with the silver colored letters. They can only be programmed with 3 tones: bright, dimmed and nighttime. But can be adjusted manually to lighter tones.

I purchased the 2nd gen. The one in the pic is the 2nd gen.

This is the second generation hub.

2nd Gen Hub. It is the square one.
