Syracuse lights all over the house. This is so much easier than pulling out the phone or asking Siri to turn on and off the lights.

It’s a great alternative to a light switch. I hard wired my switch on and now dont have to worry about anyone flipping the switch. I like that at night I can turn off all my lights just by pressing and holding this switch. It comes off held by an magnet and you can use it as a remote. I don’t get that but hey it does it.

The Philips Hue Dimmer Switch is a game-changer for anyone with Hue lights! Installation took less than five minutes, and it instantly became my favorite way to control my lights. The switch is sleek, responsive, and fits beautifully anywhere in the house—no wiring needed. I love that I can adjust brightness and switch between my favorite scenes with just a click. It’s perfect for those times when I don’t want to pull out my phone or shout at Alexa. Reliable, easy to use, and stylish, this dimmer switch adds convenience to everyday living. A smart home essential!

Philips Hue Dimmer Switch

For users invested in the Philips Hue ecosystem, the Hue Dimmer Switch is widely considered a valuable, if not essential, accessory. It bridges the gap between smart app/voice control and the convenience of a traditional physical switch. Its ease of use, flexible placement options, and reliable performance make it a practical addition to almost any room with Hue lights.
While it might seem a bit pricey for "just a switch," the convenience it adds, especially in households with multiple users or for those moments when fumbling with a phone is inconvenient, often justifies the cost. If you're looking for a simple, elegant, and effective way to control your Philips Hue lights with a physical interface, the Philips Hue Dimmer Switch (White) remains a top recommendation.

I love the Philips Hue system. I tried the "C by GE" first and it didn't work well at all. I switched to Philips Hue and now have 13 or more lights up and working through the bridge from a distance. I plan on adding more. With the switch, I was able to teach my daughter how to turn it on and off, as well as how to switch between the 5 different preset special lighting scenes I set up for her in her playroom. I wish I hadn't wasted my time trying the "C by GE" first.
As an aside: I do wish they would build the dimmer switch to easily fit over the normal light switch.

This Hue light switch practices true non-attachment. It neither strives nor complains—it simply turns the light on, turns it off, or dwells peacefully in the soft middle of dim. It asks nothing, promises nothing, and achieves everything it was meant to. In its quiet click is a small reminder: illumination isn’t found in apps or updates, but in the stillness between on and off.

Great light switch that also doubles as a remote. The remote is held to the plate by a magnet - great engineering! It took a few seconds to pair to the system that I have and has worked flawlessly to turn on the bedroom's connected hue bulbs and light strip. I will probably buy more of these for other rooms simply for the convince factor of not having to speak to Siri or open an app. The buttons are programmable and let you shortcut to any previously saved scene as well as dimming and power on/off. Love it.

Just want to start out by saying I really miss the old version. of the switch. The new version just seems to eat through batteries. It took my 5 years before I had to change batteries with the old model and the new one is asking for a replacement after maybe 2 years or less. Also like the buttons on the old model.
Does this one still work...Yes. Is it a superior model to the previous..No. I also hate how the new model is slightly different size so I can't move it to a different holder around the house.

A bit expensive for what it is, but if you have existing Hue smart lights, this is a convenient way to operate them without having to pull out your phone every time. Battery lasts about a year and is easy to change.
Works with Apple HomeKit too.

For my comfort to age in place (and for anyone with disabilities), I have updated my home (bit by bit) with Smart Devices/Bulbs (and yes, that includes HUE Bulbs). This has made life so much easier (since I don't have to go room by room across the entire house and just have to use my SmartDevice to turn off every room's bulbs now).
This 'switch' is magnetic to a holder that basically I stick on a pillar in each room (this way when they use the guest room, they have an easy to use control to dim, turn on/off and otherwise make it more comfortable lighting-wise).
For that purpose, it fits the bill, the battery lasts a good long time (I've had the same battery now a couple years in one switch for example).

I really like these things. They make multilight turnon's way easier. For instance, I have scenes tied to two lights, within the same room, but on two different switches. Makes it real easy for folks who don't know or care to turn on (or off) both lights in a room because 'that switch is just too far away'!
They seem to hold up pretty well too. Bought these because the original kinetically powered devices are no longer available, which work in much the same fashion.
Pretty expensive for what it is though, as are all Hue devices.

I really love the way this new switch works vs. the old version. And better yet is uses a more standard battery that is easy to find anywhere. My favorite new feature is the fact that you can set a scene to activate based on what time of day it is. And the hue button cycles through all the scenes you have for the lights it activates. It really does everything I could want.

Definitely helpful when you want to just quickly press a button to turn on the lights. I like how you can program it to do different things based on time of day and if you hold the button. The only thing I would change is make the magnet stronger. I had the first gen & that one had a stronger magnet.

Best purchase ever. It’s so versatile with other products outside Hue family. Works with Alexa and Siri too. Easy to install and there are wall plates available to match. Definitely buying more soon.
