Good, but not sure why they changed the buttons

It's been five months now and we still haven't got used to the on button being the off button too instead of on and scene selection like the previous switches!
The product is fine, especially if you're just buying in as a new user or an existing one without any switches, just not sure what prompted a redesign as i would imagine it leaves the majority of hue owners with an inconsistent experience unless they had bought every one they would ever need pre design change, which we didn't.
The old switch was more intuitive to use from a UX perspective - there's less chance you would immediately be turning them off after turning them on, but plenty of chance you might change the scene when you turned them on, and doing that with a single button still seems more user friendly.
Between this and the app redesign it feels like stuff has been getting changed at hue simply for the sake of it, rather than because customers were asking for it

It can sometimes be a challenge setting up a dimmer, but once set up they work great for those that dont want to use voice commands to turn on/off the lights. I like that you can also use the remote to cycle through pre-programmed color scenes. Highly recommend if you love lighting your home with Hue lights.

Not much to say other that they it works perfectly as it should. It pairs easy with lights vis the app and it's great used as a light switch.
I have two lamps paired to so when I use this remote/switch it controls both lamps at the same time. Basically you control a "room" with it so my room has 2 lamps. I just leave it on the wall and use it as a switch so I don't always have to use my phone to control my lamps but you can take the remote with you to couch or whatever and it magnetically vattaches to the base plate on the wall.

I love this "remote". It is super easy to set up. I use it for Apple HomeKit so I had to configure it in the Hue App to use in HomeKit. I have each button perform a different function either to turn on a light or turn on a scene. If you have Phillips Hue lights in your home, I highly recommend it. It still works with non Hue Lights in HomeKit so that is also a plus.

We purchased MANY Hue White and Color Recessed lights to replace our existing recessed lights and we love them! We added a dimmer switch to each room that we redid so that it is very easy to use for anyone else who may come to visit and don’t want to talk to Alexa and Siri for their lighting needs. Leave the main switch ON for the lights and let the dimmer switch or your AI turn the lights on and off…if you turn off the main switch the lights will “fall off of” your wifi connection and you will have responsiveness delays unnecessarily…

Love using this instead of a light switch, give the ability to change lights or power them with the phone or when you walk in the room.

This product is a great addition to any philips hugh system. Easily programmed for different lighting affects and works even when the internet is down. Major upgrade to this previous smart button.

Got a couple of these now to change the lights in several rooms. I usually use Google voice control for most rooms but this has really helped have a fast responsive lights control. If it wasn't so expensive, i would get rid of all the lights and switches in the house and go completely Hue. Bonus: the mounting plate works great and secures easily without the remote falling out.

This item worked very well with a very easy setup. I have so far bought multiple because not only are they crazy easy to actually set up and install but they have programmable modes which is very convenient depending on where you place it

All i can say is this changed my life. I no longer need to say * hey siri” or “hey Alexa. Turn on the kitchen lights” that phrase would alert my wife to my snacking behavior from the other side of the house. I can now turn on/off the lights without her being any wiser to my misadventures with food.

I have several rooms with HUE bulbs. I use these dimmer switches to control multiple rooms from the same switch. You can program them control different rooms with multiple button clicks ie if I press the on button once, my kitchen light comes on and if I press it twice, my family room lights come on.

Had issue with original one of four switches purchased when first released.
The cover plate is too large compared to original which fits nicely on a multi switch plate.
Connected easily to the bridge. And with the magnet being on the swich rather than the plate worked great for my application, which is in the kitchen and switch on the side of the refrigerator.

Works great and super easy setup with my existing Hue Bridge. It has configuration settings that work with Homekit automations, and the Philip’s Hue Scene for the room it was placed in, which has virtually limitless configurable possibilities. The most fun I’ve had with a light switch by far.

I like the traditional off-line versus the Hué button just changing the hue and you having hit the power again but other then that great product.
