Philips Hue Smart Plug for Hue Smart Lights, Bluetooth & Hue Hub Compatible

This one has repurposed the bottom button to cycle through scenes, the top button is now on/off instead of only on/screen cycle. Much better experience.

My product was missing a piece so I contacted Phillips Support. They were very responsive and have a terrific warranty program

If you want simple, quick set-up of this remote, disregard the enclosed instruction sheet which tells you that the set-up button is inside the battery cover, along with a QR code for you to scan. All I did was open the Hue app on my iPhone and go to settings. Select Accessories, then the + sign at the top-right, and finally select the Dimmer switch. Then simply follow the steps. I had this up and running in less than 3 minutes. No need to open the battery cover, or press the set-up button on the remote. This device also get registered in your Alexa app. Seems you can add a routine to the device which I havent figured out the purpose... Anyway, this is really a quick, inexpensive method to have a physical device to control your lights.

This item makes a great gift for anyone who owns multiple Hue lights. Obviously the app or a voice assistant are more than capable of doing the job, having a movable wall switch for guests to use is invaluable. On top of that, after I got used to how I programed the buttons (i.e. what lights are triggered and what colors of lights to use), I found myself using the switch almost exclusively). While the price is crazy high, you wont think twice about it after purchasing and setting up. I had some bad luck trying to connect to my hub at first, but now that its connected my troubles are gone. I know not many users have that problem, but I will at least note here that I had to do a factory reset in order to find it in my Hue app

I purchased this device to add to all my Philips HUE home lights. This is an must ave addition. It will give all home members an easy to use switch/. We added it to our tining table light and the living room lights. Now if we like to switch on or of the lights we just put the switch on the table and everyone can access the swicth. Installation is easy and adding lights to the 4 switches is easy with the HUE app. I recomand this to all HUE fans.

I have Hue so I try to get Hue products like this to integrate into the system. This one operates the Christmas tree. There was a day or two where this would flicker of and on on its own but over the course of several weeks, it did not occur again so as with all technology, I just chalked it up to some basic software hiccups that eventually work themselves out.

Super easy to install and setup! I just attached it to a wall near the kids rooms and now have an instant, easy access light switch that they can use, too! Really quite convenient and highly recommend, albeit maybe wait for a sale as it is a bit pricey. However, it is outstanding quality. No issues at all with delays or misreads. Has worked instantly every time!

I like it better than the new dial dimmer wall dimmer. Its simple. The dial while more aesthetic only provides an additional button function. Mounting is easy, the adhesive will rip the dry wall off when you remove it. Its easiest to just use tacks to pin the mounting plate and the unit is so lightweight itll stay up.

I wanted to like this product. Unfortunately, Philips switch module has some problems. For background, I have a ton of the Hue products, and I love the Philips Hue brand. But this is one of the rare exceptions where I think they have really missed the mark. Lots of other reviewers have covered the basics, so I wont rehash that information too much. This thing is NOT terrible, which is why I still gave it 3 stars. The switch module isnt too hard to set up, and it USUALLY works as advertised. I think they are on the right track, if they could address a few issues, described below. PROBLEM- Switch does not work reliably. The switch module intermittently fails to respond at all. The lights will not turn on/off, as though the message had never been sent to the hub. I can try again, flipping the switch back and forth, but once it gets stuck like this, the switch module will usually not work correctly for the next 10-20 seconds, no matter how many times you flip the switch. I have isolated the problem, and it is definitely an issue with the switch module- The exact same lights respond immediately when I pull out my phone in frustration, to turn the lights on or off from the app. This same problem DOES fix itself automatically though. When I try to use the same switch later that day, it will usually work, without me having to fix anything myself. As an engineer myself, I tried to do my own troubleshooting first. But I have been unable to figure out a specific pattern, or any likely cause for these intermittent problem. Maybe the switch goes into some sort of sleep mode to save battery power, and doesnt properly wake up? It shouldnt be a range issue. This switch module isnt too far from the hub, certainly much closer than several of my other Hue lights. I suppose it could be a signal/interference problem... but I dont have this same problem with any other smart home stuff in my house. Maybe I have really unlucky timing, and my neighbor is always using their microwave at the exact moment I try to flip my light switch? Maybe my switch covers are secretly made of Faraday cages? PROBLEM- Switch configuration is based on toggles, not state. This is much less severe than the reliability problem above, but is nonetheless still a pretty annoying design flaw. Basically, you can configure the switch to either change scenes or toggle on/off. The problem, is that the Hue Switch module use physical changes of the switch position as a signal back to the Hue hub. Why is that a problem? Because it results in some weird inconsistencies, whenever the switch misses a message (which happens relatively frequently). Sometimes the up position means off, sometimes it means on. I would much rather have the option to configure the switch for something like When I flip the switch to UP, go to scene A. When I flip the switch to DOWN, go to scene B. Instead, you are stuck with When I change the switch, go to the other scene. I understand why they chose the design they did- Handling scenarios where someone else is changing the state of the same light, from the app, or another switch. But it would have been nice to have it as a configuration option. This would be LESS of a problem, if the Switch Module worked more reliably, but it frequently misses switch events. So I like what Philips was trying to do here, but until the reliability problems are resolved, I cant recommend this product. Hopefully these can be addressed in a v2 model.

I use these plugs to control and automate lamps. Theyre easy to install and configure. They work seamlessly with my Hue bridge. They replaced plugs from another brand that used a cloud service that constantly failed. Thank you, Philips!
