Unfortunately, no. In order to use the Philips Hue Dimmer Switch you'll firstly need the Bridge device they sell, and at least one bulb of the Philips Hue line.

Frank · Answer

You must use the Philips Hue products with this dimmer switch.

Scott · Answer

Only hue bulbs will work.

Topherkey · Answer

Only works for hue lights. Possibility for other zigbee lights but I can't confirm or deny that. There are no wires so there would be no connection to any standard non wireless, be it incandescent, cfl or basic leds

The Philips Hue dimmer switch can only be used with the Philips Hue Bridge to control items on the bridge network, so it cannot control standard incandescent bulbs.
