    Very cool customizations. Works with lots of different apps. Can be mounted and then be carried around when needed. No battery required.

    I like it because I don't need to explain to people they need to download an app to turn my lights on in the event someone is house sitting. Also just not having to break out your phone or table for quick access to scenes is really nice.

    Very Cool & Useful for Hue Lovers

    This switch is awesome, very cool little device. It can be installed anywhere (it does not use any power at all, not even a battery; something about how you press it creates a small amount of friction generated electricity to turn it on and off). So you can mount this anywhere to use it. Programming at first did not work with their new app so I used their older app to program it and that worked ( I bet they fix that with the next update). It has 4 pre-sets for scenes that you can pick, and whats cool is if you want more pre-sets for a certain room then you can just buy another tap to put on the wall next to it. Great for the basement when the kids have friends over, they use the "party switch" which has all the cool color scenes that the kids love. Very happy with how this has performed thus far.

    I have several color schemes for my living room and this allows me to switch between my 4 favorites without having to bring up the Hue app on my phone. I may get another for some of my other color recipes.

    You cannot have it be in Apple Home AND the Hue app. You need to choose one, and stick with it, else the whole thing gets confused. Once I figured that out, it works great! Will need another one now.

    Easy to setup and program the buttons for different light settings. Only thing I would improve on is separating the housing for the switch. So mounting the switch would be easier.

    Best item for the Philips Hue lighting

    This item is a must have if you use the Hue system. It's perfect to keep handy for those times when you don't have your phone close by and for those non-techno-savy family members of your household who prefer to use a regular switch.

    I have this at my entrance to my apartment and it allows me to turn all the lights off or sync all lights to one of three settings. Easier than having to rely on the app for a quick on or off.

    This lil switch was perfect for my basement theatre hue lights. I love the scenes you can set beyond what a plain dimmer provides. My wife loves it too! She doesn't have to use an app to adjust the lights now.

    This remote switch makes the lights that much cooler. You can have three different standard settings that you can trigger with this remote so that makes changing the colors so easy

    This thing is very handy if you dont want to use your phone to turn on/off the lights. You can program the scene (up to 4) and it works wonder. My wife loves it because she doesnt have her phone all the time.

    How does this thing even work? No batteries ever. Butt generates enough energy to control your Hue lights. Amazing.

    This is a good switch for times when your phone or tablet isnt handy. I have mine near the entrance so when I get home at night, I can easily turn on the lights.

    Not as useful as it could be

    So at the end of the day, it's four buttons that each do ONE thing -- keeping in mind that "off" and "on" are two different things. And while you can use their experimental "lab" software to code one button each as a toggle or progressive dimmer -- to dim a defined group of lights through a range (which baffling does not include "all the way off") or switch a group off and on -- you can only do this with one button each. So you can't currently have TWO buttons that each work as toggles. Honestly, the "no battery" gimmick here is just a gimmick, and the functionality isn't where I would have expected it.

    Bought this to compliment my hue collection, saves me from using my cell phone app all the time to change movie lighting. Set up was a breeze and went flawlessly. Works great and no problems so far.

    Quicker than using the app. Wish there were more button options. The price should be a tad cheaper though.
