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

It’s nice to have a physical switch even with the google assistant and the hue app I still like to just push a button if I want to. Looks good on the wall adhesive backing works good. You may need to update your hue app . Dims brightens on and off ,perfect . Battery on my older version switch lasted almost 2 years. Not bad.

Bought the kit, this and bulbs, didnt know I need the hub so the switch is useless for now. Should have read better. The idea is great, my room has no light switch so I was going to use this

The instructions included as well as what is available on the website when following the QR code link are some of the most unhelpful things I’ve ever encountered. Once I guessed my way into configuring it, it works very nicely.

Adding the Hue smart plug to your hub is just like any other Hue bulb. The advantage of using the Hue smart plug over the Innr smart plug is that this one is also HomeKit compatible. This smart plug just works!

Keeps my fat but from having to give a reach around to the Christmas tree to plug and unplug it. Not sure what else to use it for but works well for why I bought it.

I wanted to be able to control my Hue lights through the physical switch along with the app. The installation was really easy and at first, everything seemed great. However, a couple of weeks in, Im noticing that the switch only turns on / off the lights about 75% of the time. You may be thinking well thats not too bad but oh, it is. A light switch is binary, and needs to work 100% of the time - without fail. Nobody wants to be fussing around with a light app when the physical switch should be working 100% of the time. Im not sure if there is some connection or sync issue, but its annoying, and I would not recommend this product. Another minor complaint is; when you flip the switch on or off, the lights slowly fade on and off. Its not instant, how I want it, or how a normal switch works. So, you always have this 2-3 second delay, and you never really know if its working before then. As far as I can tell, this cannot be configured any other way. Your lights and physical switch will become out of sync - Let me explain. I guess there is no real way around this, but if youre OCD it might bother you. Say you turn on the light through the app, but the physical switch is in the down off position. Next, you flip the physical switch to the up on position, this will turn off your light. So now the physical switch is opposite of normal light behavior. Its in the up on position, but the light is off. Im guessing this is working as intended, so I cant really complain.

Ive owned Hue products for about 10 years now, I think. Always innovative, but often expensive. I owned several of the old version of these switches and needed another one so I decided to go with the V2 one. I like it. Unlike the old one, where I would have to instruct guests to press the power button repeatedly to change scenes/brightness levels, now I can tell them the power button turns it on or off and the Hue button on the bottom changes scenes. It makes a little more sense to people, I think. You can, of course, customize the power and Hue buttons. I love that the Hue button can be pressed up to five times for different scenes. The separate brightness buttons are good, too. I like the V2 switch more than the V1 one for sure.

Not a normal reviewer. But this product is new, I was excited and a major let down. So I thought I would help you save some cash. 1. This module is “Battery Powered”. It does NOT use the power of the existing house wall switch. 2. Battery claims 5 years, so every 5 years you will spend a DAY removing all wall plates/switches and changing batteries. 3. It cost $40. A Phillips Hue wall switch cost $25 (which doubles as a removable magnetic remote) , and does the same thing, and supports dimming, and all Hue features. Far more features your house switch cannot do, even with this $40 module. 4. This Hue switch module will have you bypass your house switch wiring and connect your house wiring together with a provided wire nut, then connect the module to the house wall switch. THAT’S IT! So, save your money and do what I am about to do (after I return these Hue switch modules to Amazon). 1. Remove your house wall switch completely. 2. Connect the house switch wiring together (same as this module requires). 3. Spend $25 + $5 ($30) for a Hue Wall switch and 3D printed switch cover that works with the Hue wall switch. The $25 wall switch also uses a battery that needs replacing every 3 years (I own 4-5 currently). 4. And now, you have a Hue wall switch that looks nice with your “made for Hue 3D printed switch plate cover”. You have the SAME EXACT SOLUTION PHILLIPS IS OFFERING WITH THIS $40 PRODUCT. WOW! Love Hue, I own 20 of the multi-color lights, wall switches, motions sensors, etc. LOVE THEM. But this new “module” is poorly executed. Does NOT use house power (require battery). Required rewiring your house wires to bypass your wall switch. $40!!!!!! Again, the $25 Hue wall switch does the same thing. You can stick it to the wall next to your house switch, or bypass the house switch, and buy a $5 3D printed wall plate that your $25 Hue switch can use, and it supports all Hue features. This module DOES NOT support all Hue features. Sorry Phillips, but this product was LAZY! Try again. Final comment = Phillips Hue claims to be partnered with Lutron. $40? Why not make a replacement switch that can use the house power (no battery)? That would be worth $40, maybe $50. I spent days, weeks, searching for something like this. And this module was the best Phillips could think of????? Phillips, please make your own integrated wall switch, or use your partnership with Lutron to make it for you.

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

I got this primarily for guests who don’t know I have Alexa voice activation already with my Hue lights and got the Samotech wall plate that covers the switch that powers the lights. This is very easy to set up with the Hue app. If you have the Hue Bridge, you can easily set it up with whatever lights and/or rooms/zones that you want. It holds up to 10 lights. Just be warned that once you group 2 or more lights to a switch, they will be all affected. In other words, you cannot individually control one light to the other. There is another app for that and it’s not too difficult to set up, either. Overall, very happy with this!
