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

Hue switches (and devices) are just too expensive. That being said they are very reliable. This switch is the first device from hue that’s actually worth the price. You can actually control 5 lights from one switch. The 4 buttons and the rotary ring can each turn on and off lights separately. There is a little work to figure how to turn on and off a light with a simple alternating short press it by default wants a short press to turn on and a long press to shut off. This is because a second short press (and third and forth) wants to change scenes. It is possible to make it short press on short press off you just have to play with the settings and it not too intuitive. The only other head scratcher is the ring can only be program to one light ( one that has a button programmed to it or a separate 5th light). I figured there would be a setting where the ring would follow whatever light you turned on but no luck. Maybe it will come with a future update. Also there is no way to configure the sensitivity of the ring so it takes too many turns to turn a light fully on and off. Again maybe a future update (are you getting my hints Phillips). Other than these minor downsides the switch is very reliable and convenient and the battery life seems to be good unlike the single button switch for which I must stock up on batteries. I’ll update this if something changes.

This integrated super well with my Hue system and lots of options for controlling lights. Love the 4 separate switches that can be customized and the rotating dimmer knob. It IS pricey but for integration and control of the hue lights its very worth it. I am definitely finding myself using the physical buttons more than my app lately to control my lights! LOVE that theres both black and white to choose from and wish the other switches had similar color options.

We have hue bulbs in almost 80% of our lights and rooms in the house. We manage it through routines and Alexa. Adding this was a great addition as my wife isn’t a huge fan of using Alexa. I highly recommend this accessory to anyone who is going heavy with hue bulbs in multiple rooms.

Have 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.

I 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.

Does exactly what I needed it to. And solved a little electrical problem I had!

Need a plug for a plug? This is the plug. Sync non hue lights to your hue vibes so you can control all of your lights from the Hue app. It’s a vibe; upgrade your plug.

The switch is easily programmed by tethering either to a light bulb - or - by adding it to the app and programming everything over the phone once. Using the phone app, the Hue and power buttons can then even switch between different sceneries / modes. Which makes this really nice. Also - the remote can then work from anywhere in the house - which makes it even more interesting (and dangerous to chaos if you have multiple and switch them ;) ). All in all I really like this and bought even 2 more controls!

Voice 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.
