Philips Hue Smart Dimmer Switch with Remote, White - 1 Pack - Turns Hue Lights On, Off, Dims or Brightens - Requires Hue Bridge - Easy, No-Wire Installation

Setting up this Hue Smart Button was quick and straightforward. I was able to link it to the exact lights I wanted it to control without any hassle, and it’s been working reliably ever since. My usage is pretty simple, but after seeing how flexible the configuration options are, I’m considering picking up additional switches for other areas. The adhesive on the back of the wall plate sticks well, and it’s held firmly in place since the day I mounted it. Some reviewers have mentioned concerns about the magnet strength, and while it isn’t especially strong, it’s perfectly adequate for my setup. The area where I installed the switch doesn’t get a lot of traffic, and I’ve been able to use it normally without the remote coming loose. Overall, it’s a clean, easy‑to‑use addition to a Hue system with enough customization options to grow into over time.

Compra en Amazon: El producto llegó en tiempo y sellado, el precio fue muy bueno, muy por debajo del precio de lista, El atenuador: en cuanto al accesorio es muy bueno, cuenta con una base que se puede montar a la pared, con tornillos o pegando, los orificios están en múltiples puntos, haciéndolo compatible con las tradicionales «chalupas» de México, sólo hay que quitar el apagador anterior, enlazar los cables y cubrirlos. Se atornilla la base y listo. Configuración: La configuración se debe hacer primero reiniciando el atenuador, este cuenta con un orificio de debajo de la tapa, la tapa se puede abrir con una moneda, se puede agregar vía hue app, o una app de terceros como homekit etc. Es importante mencionar que para usarlo se requiere tener un bridge de hue. El atenuador puede guardar 5 escenas, estas escenas pueden ser las que vienen por defecto o si se tiene una ambientación en la habitación está puede ser configurada, el atenuador puede controlar varios focos, es importante considerar que si son de colores y no están configurados en la app en la misma habitación, no tomará las ambientaciones guardadas. Por último el atenuador se siente de calidad y queda fijo ya que está inmantado, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

I have used Hue lights for many years, and I also own several smart home products from other brands. I'm primarily a HomeKit user, so my review will come from that perspective, although this is irrelevant to the typical use case for a switch like this. I previously resisted buying this refreshed version of the original Hue Dimmer Switch, as the way it works by default is a bit different from the original: • Instead of separate on and off switches, you now have a power toggle and a Hue button — the function of which may not seem obvious. • Instead of separate brighten/dim buttons, they are a single piece that works like a rocker. It turns out my concerns about the changes were nothing to worry about, as you can easily customize the functionality of these buttons within the Hue app, and you have a lot of flexibility in how you can set it up. I was pleased to discover that the design of this switch has been improved over the old version in several ways: • The switch surfaces fully extend to the sides (without a border around them), which means it's easier to press the top and bottom buttons while fumbling in the dark. There's also a helpful locator dot (like on the "F" and "J" keys on a keyboard to help you determine what the "On" button is. • The back is rounded subtly, making it easier to slide it into the included bracket. • There's a ridge on the back of the remote that slots into a groove on the bracket, which means it's pretty difficult to accidentally push the remote off the bracket when it's held in by the magnet. • The bracket now has proper holes so you can screw it onto a standard switch box — if you don't need to physically turn the power to the light off, you can (after turning the breaker off, please don't electrocute yourself) remove the original switch, use a wire nut to twist the wires together, and then screw the bracket over the outlet. No more concerns with your kids leaving the switch off! • As mentioned, the dim/brighten control is now a single panel, but there are still two buttons. So while it's harder to feel the difference between them in the dark, you don't lose functionality, and I suppose this makes the switch easier to wipe clean. • The battery compartment is much easier to access. The old design required loosening a tiny screw with a tiny screwdriver and carefully prying open a clip that would often break. This design uses a door that can be opened with any flat object, like a dime, table knife, or flathead screwdriver. If you like, you can still make the Hue button at the bottom behave like an off switch to work like a normal Decora switch, or you can make it trigger a different set of scenes. Or both at the same time, which works better than you'd think! You can also make either button cycle through scenes. Unfortunately, the functionality of the dim buttons is more limited within the Hue app — I don't know why they don't just let you trigger scenes with these buttons if you want. The typical way of configuring this switch within the Hue app is probably going to be the most reliable way to offer control of Hue lights, but if you need more abilities, you can also configure this in third-party apps, like Apple Home. If you do this, the switch works in a slightly different way, where you get four dedicated buttons that can essentially run automations or trigger scenes, and I've found this to be flexible, although it doesn't offer 1:1 functionality compared to the Hue app. For example, in Hue you can cycle through up to five scenes by pressing a button multiple times, but I couldn't find a way to do this in Home. I was worried that controlling this switch through Home would not be as reliable as controlling it with the Hue app, but it has mostly been fine, and I haven't noticed significant delays in turning lights on with this setup. Doing this confers the huge benefit that you can control nearly anything in your home, and you're not limited to just Hue products. So I can turn on my Govee Lamps, star projector, etc., all with one button. If you're creative and willing to tinker, you can probably do quite a lot by configuring the buttons to run automations and combinations of scenes. Overall, I'm very happy with the Hue Smart Dimmer Switch and find it a really useful addition to my smart home.
