A:Answer It would appear to be similar to the Hue Wall Switch, but without the need for batteries. You'd be able to turn on or off Hue lights with the press of a wall button instead of using the app. I used a Hue Wall Switch to add basement lights where there was no existing switch wiring. I had a floor lamp plugged in with constant power with a Hue bulb installed. Mounted a switch like this to a nearby wall with double sided tape. Programmed the switch to operate the lamp.
I haven't tried this specific model yet, but the other Hue switch would even let you program various settings. Example: One tap for full brightness. 2 taps for 50% brightness, 3 taps for Blue lighting.
The option of using kinetic energy for the switch power is intriguing.
