> 3 dayThis 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.

Greater than one weekI have several hue lights placed around my apartment, but there was no quick way to turn them all on/off when exiting and entering the apartment. It would always require taking out my phone to use the Hue app or calling out to Alexa to turn the lights on. Now, placing this right next to my doorway entry, I can simply turn on ALL of my lights with the touch of a button. Whereas previously, my light switch at the entrance was only connected to one outlet in the room. This has made my hue light experience SO much nicer and I cant believe it took me this long to realize that this product existed.

> 3 dayVoice control isnt always the best option.. If my father-in-law is staying over, I dont need him hearing Dungeon lights off! when its time for his daughter and I to hit the hay. Speaking of sticking it wherever, I love the idea of being able to place this switch anywhere, without regard for wiring.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekI had some bulbs that were quite far away from the Hue bridge. I bought this to plug it in closer to the bridge, thus acting as an extender to get a stronger signal to the lights that were having connection issues. Works well for this... although a bit of an expensive solution.

> 3 dayHave been using V1 switch for 6 or 7 years with zero issues. Upgraded to this and works even better. Shipped with near dead battery causing disconnection on second day of use.
