Lutron - Aurora Smart Bulb Dimmer Switch for Philips Hue Smart Bulbs - White

Recently installed a large amount of Hue Smart lights in my house and was looking for options to change light switches to avoid people turning off the power to the lights as well as provide easier on/off functionality and dimmer capability on all my lights. Relays are too much of a hassle and the hue branded buttons and switches while cheaper do not install over existing panels unless you removed all your old light switches and left everything wired hot to be always on. These switches while pricey are simple to set up, work flawlessly and being able to double click to change scenes and rotate a knob rather than moving a slider as traditionally you would do make everything so easy. 10/10 would recommend and will be installing for every light switch in my house.

I have about 30 hue bulbs in almost every socket in my apartment (minus the fridge and the oven, due to the obvious lol) and 8 Lutron Auroras, one for every switch. Regarding the price, I know it’s a lot for what amounts to a dimmer with a button in the middle, haha. I only bought one originally and felt a bit sillier after opening it to find its primarily made of hard plastic. DO NOT LET THIS DETER YOU THOUGH!! I went and bought a couple more a day later and when I moved into my 2 bedroom apartment from my studio, I bought 5 more so all of my switches had one. Besides the build being plastic rather than stainless steel or aluminum, it is very much a quality product and works incredibly well with Hue. It is included as a Friend of Hue in the Hue app and setup takes a whole 30 seconds (if that) to setup. Could not have been easier and they work every time without ever skipping a beat. You will be very happy and much like the Hue bulbs themselves, you pay for the quality, integrity, and ease of use. Lutron outdid themselves and you won’t be disappointed!

Great addition to a hue light setup when renting. Easy to install, durable and battery lasts a couple of years. A little expensive but worth it.

Although the price is higher, these switches are great for any hone automation person with Hue bulbs. Install very quickly, easy to use, stable. Ive bought several.

This goes on a regular light switch. You dime the lights or turn them on and off. It’s perfect if you cannot switch light switches or you don’t want to spend the money on a smart switch. It looks great. It looks like a different light switch all together. Easy to install, you don’t have remove anything. All you need is a small screw drive to tight the switch on the light switch in the on position. Trust me, if I can install it you can too. Never had any issues with it. Worth it!!!
