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

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.

Title says it all, Alexa splashed all over the place here, but it works great with Google too. All the Philips Hue stuff is unreasonably expensive - seriously. However! It does all work very well. I got this v2 dimmer switch and half a dozen light bulbs and a light strip for my house for Halloween and it was friggin sweet. The app is solid, works very well. Setting up the account online was dumb - had to disable the VPN on my phone (enabled by default cos Google Pixel phone uses the Google One VPN to secure my interwebs) cos it couldnt detect the bridge with it on. Once I figured that out, though, it found and connected it to my account quickly. The good thing about Hue products is they just work. Products are good quality. But damn do you pay for it. And Im an idiot so I plan to get more. Going for the Sync box and some lights for the TV. Cos pretty lights. Do it for the blinkies.

I liked the old version a lot... I have a couple in the house. I dont care for the new version with the Hue button at the bottom. The buttons on the old version were more responsive and I preferred having on at the top and off at the bottom. The new version buttons are harder to activate and I have no use for the Hue button at the bottom to change scenes. I am constantly hitting it to turn my lights off and having them go haywire instead. Some change color temperature, some dim, and a couple change colors completely. I still need to work my way thru the programming in the app, but the beauty of the old version was that it just worked

Handy if you live in a larger home and great to have one in the garage for the house. This is way more than you need for an apartment. Just one of these switches controls up to four rooms independently. However rotary dial is for only the main room for which it is programmed or for which it is installed. Amazing flexibility. Each of the four buttons breaks down into four separate components. Allowing independent control of each environment. So you can set light for each room independently. personally think the best use is for before you enter your home so if you have a garage tO mount one in the garage for the rest of the house. When you arrive home from work and if you dont have automation set press 1 button and the entire house can light. Or simply turn the dial and if so programmed entire house will come on to whatever seeing you have set for each room the flexibility is amazing.

Yes, they are expensive, but they do what they are supposed to do. If you have a light that gets lots of action on a daily basis from the regular house residents and guests, then this is the solution. This is needed to avoid that pesky flip of the switch to turn off the Hue Lights that should always be on. Heck I live in my house and at times STILL flip the switch by accident! :-). This will keep those lights on no matter what! If the switch is on, GREAT, no issues, but if someone flips the switch to off, then still, GREAT, the lights will still work as they should due to this module always being on. Folk complaining that they are cheaper solutions, are just just being too picky. I mean, this solution lasts for years on the battery before you have to replace it. That’s a long time and longer than some people keep their cars. You don’t hear them complaining about that large purchase and wishing they went for the cheaper solution. Just get it cause it works and will work for the time you have it.

This switch is awesome, it’s very easy to set up and works exactly as expected. My only beef with it is that now I have 2 sets of switches side-by-side in every room- the old ones that need to stay on at all times to provide power to the bulbs (for connectivity), and these dimmer switches. Guests have no idea which ones to use & end up disconnecting the bulbs half the time by flipping off the old switches. I wish Philips made switches similar to the ones another brand makes, where the new switch sits OVER the old one, forcing the old one to stay in the “on” position.

This is a great utility for a house with more than a few Philips Hue bulbs. It makes controlling your lights faster, more convenient, and especially more natural. Much more seamless than relying on voice control alone, and beats pulling out a smart phone even if it has home screen shortcuts. I gave this four stars because of noisy buttons. We use this in our master bedroom, and the only quiet way to turn on the lights is by turning the wheel, which limits its usefulness at night. At an already hefty fifty bucks, Id be willing to bump it up to sixty if that got me quiet switches.

Ive been a VERY happy owner of the 1st version of this device. I keep it on my refrigerator to control all of the lights in the kitchen. This is due to the fact that the wall switch is in an inconvenient location. When I saw this new version I thought I would update. And while the addition of having a dedicated button for light themes, the omission of dedicated magnets on the base mean that you cannot simply put this new version on a steel surface. To get the same functionality, you would have to remove the base, then the magnets on the remote will work fine. Nice and strong. Caveat, the remote on the old original version was not magnetic and so the base was required. While this post no problem for me as I prefer to have the base remain where it was, the new version allows you to discard the base entirely and simply place the remote on whatever steel structure you have. The benefit there, is a smaller footprint for the switch. I still prefer to have the magnets on the base and be able to pull the remote off, but that is a personal preference. The old switch and base were thicker quality plastic, glossy. The new is matte finish and feels thin and flimsy, but Im sure thats to allow the magnets in the remote to get through to whatever steel surface you may be using. Its a small detail but that just means that I would either have to store the cheap, flimsy, plastic base somewhere or discard it and hope I dont need it in the future. But for those who are using the adhesives on the back to stick on a wall, this is a non-issue for you. The integration was incredibly quick. When I opened the Alexa app on my phone, it had already detected the new device and asked me to configure. The process was quick and painless, select the group, room, or lights and rename. That was it. All in all this is a solid update, I just would prefer that the base was not so light, flimsy, and cheap. All in all, a great quality product and one that I definitely recommend. If Amazon allowed I would give it 4.5 Stars out of 5.

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!

These are the perfect homekit buttons. Have them all over the jouse
