    Great little device that allows for controlling my hue lights when I don't want to use my voice or phone. Also useful when the internet went out (still functions). Appearance looks no different than any other rotating dimmer.

    We have been using this on our bathroom light switch for a few months now and I couldn't be more pleased. The bathroom was the one location that we needed more options than just the Hue app for controls as others would be using it as well. This did exactly as advertised, it went on the double switch with no issues and doesn't get in the way of the fan switch, allows for on/off/dimming functions, has a quick response time, is easy to clean, and has worked flawlessly. The only downside is I wish that it came in other finishes, all our plates are brushed nickel, so the white button does stand out. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again!

    An excellent switch for use with older wiring

    If you have some older wiring, where you only have one conductor in the electrical box, then you know that you can not use many of the newer smart switches as they require both a hot and a neutral. This fits over an existing light switch and converts it into a smart switch. Please note the following: - It only works with Phillips Hue system components (bridge, bulbs, etc.) - It uses a watch battery that should last about 18 months. It's range will decrease as the battery gets weaker. I recommend you change it once a year at the same time as you put new batteries into your smoke detectors. If you do this this it should function fine.

    These switches may be expensive but they are SO nice. I've put them all over my phone. I recommend programming these using the iConnectHue app. It allows you to do a lot more with the switch,

    I've been a philips hue user for a few years now and the only major issue I had was that if you had bulbs in a socket that's controlled by a wall switch you had to keep that switch in the on position in order to control those lights. Once you turn the switch off it kills the power and the hue app would then be absolutely useless. This switch solves that issue. It mounts on top of the existing switch keeping it in the on position at all times. This way you don't accidentally turn the switch off and you can still control your bulbs with the hue app or your digital assistant. Highly recommend it!

    Great Hue accessory

    These are a little expensive but if you’re all in on the Hue system, they’re worthwhile. What sets these buttons apart from other Hue switches is the reduction in clutter by covering up an existing light switch, which after searching for a place to put my other Hue buttons and remotes and whatnots, is actually a pretty big deal. It’s also nice to basically convert an on/off switch into a dimmer. These are incredibly easy to set up too. The app does all the work, particularly if you have a Hue bridge. You can also assign the button part to whatever scene you want, but unlike the Hue Button by Phillips, you only get to assign one action to it. So that’s a thing. All in all I’ll probably end up getting one of these for each light in my house but at $40 each, can add up really quick. So the cost knocks it down a star. Good product though.

    a bit overpriced for what it is. Unfortunately, it's the only viable dimming switch for Hue bulbs at the moment (for now). Quick to install, easy to use.

    Excellent Addition to a Hue Ecosystem

    This is a fantastic addition to the Hue ecosystem. Being able to lock a light switch into the "on" position without losing the ability to "use" the light switch is great. It ensures the Hue lights on the circuit in question stay active and can be controlled via the Hue Hub. Definitely going to get more of these! Especially since no drilling or any other modifications need to be made since they just rest on the light switch itself.
