Philips Hue Wireless Dimmer Switch

Love it. Swapped from less secure lifx this year and have been pleased. This inexpensive addon makes smartbulb use for anyone in your home with no electronic device

I tend to not buy hue products anymore due to the large amount of less expensive but just as nice smart lighting options there are out there now, but I still have a good 40 hue products to control! I had the first generation of this dimmer switch which I have always loved (these are the kinds of things that give hue the upper hand if money isn't a big deal). The second generation is even better in my opinion...response time seems to be faster and you can store one more scene than the first. For 30 bucks, this is really worth it to control a room or group of hue lights. The adhesive backing is more than enough to keep it on your wall looking as if it is supposed to be there, as well as allowing you to remove the remote from its wall holder to carry around at your leisure (like in your bed!)

For the life of me I cannot imagine how this Hue device out of the over "70" I have, seems to have been an oversight in the line of products. Unless I am just completely missing something(who knows), it appears as if this device is missing the ability to be programmed to do anything other than turn ALL the lights off when you want a light off. So yeah you want to dim your lights? No problem. You want to have your lights set to a pre-programmed custom setting? It can do that. But if you simply want to turn either one light or 99% of your lights off..... Yeah, it CAN NOT do that. It's all...... or nothing at all.

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2021 This was really easy to install. Only took about 2-3 minutes with the Philips Hue app. We bought this switch to use as a remote on our night stand to easily dim/brighten/power on and off our two bedroom lamps that have the Philips Hue bulbs. We have a new baby and we were constantly either controlling the lights by our phone or by verbally telling our Alexa which could wake the baby. So this was a perfect solution for us. It comes with a mounting kit to use like a normal light switch but we use it as a remote on our night stand. It comes with the battery needed to power the device. No hard wiring for this device. Great price and great product. We love it!

If you already have the whole set up this is just a staple for your whole light set up from the Apple loan is so easy to use and once you have everything set up to your liking with just a press of a button your lights will look amazing and it’ll feel very uptown
