> 3 dayI 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 dayIt’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.

> 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 dayThe plug works great with the hue system. Fast responding. Clean, well made design. For those who say that it does not have a dimmer Im actually very happy it does not. You can use it for other devices than just lights! I know it is part of Philips Hue lighting product. I think it would be a mistake not to understand outlets arent just for lights and that Philips Hue system should be aware of the full home ecosystem. It is a well made product. A little on the large side though designed to not block the second outlet. The main down side is its price. It is a bit expensive to justify purchase in quantities. All Hue lights are a tad too expensive I find...

> 3 dayIf you want simple, quick set-up of this remote, disregard the enclosed instruction sheet which tells you that the set-up button is inside the battery cover, along with a QR code for you to scan. All I did was open the Hue app on my iPhone and go to settings. Select Accessories, then the + sign at the top-right, and finally select the Dimmer switch. Then simply follow the steps. I had this up and running in less than 3 minutes. No need to open the battery cover, or press the set-up button on the remote. This device also get registered in your Alexa app. Seems you can add a routine to the device which I havent figured out the purpose... Anyway, this is really a quick, inexpensive method to have a physical device to control your lights.

> 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 dayEvery year my husband gripes at me about leaving all the Christmas lights on and my Christmas villages lights...ect. We ordered several of these and linked all the decor plug-ins to them. These sync perfectly with our Philips app, so we were able to set specific times during the week or weekend. Now he is happy and no more having to have that argument each holiday season lol.

> 3 dayNeed 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.

> 3 dayBought 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
