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

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.

I 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.

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.

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!

4 buttons, 1 dial. Each can be used to control a room or zone. Or, they can control one room or zone, using each button/dial to set scenes. I have already installed 4. They are great for zones or rooms that are visible from where you control the dial. I have a dial near my bed to control my bedside lamp, bathroom, sitting room and kichenette. I have another one at my door to control the same 4 zones. I also have 2 in my kitchenette: 1 to control the lights in all 4 zones and the other to control my kitchen equipment. Basically, I can control all lights from any zone using the dial, just like a phone would. If you are bothered by smudges on your switch, avoid the black one. They all work flawlessly!

This item makes a great gift for anyone who owns multiple Hue lights. Obviously the app or a voice assistant are more than capable of doing the job, having a movable wall switch for guests to use is invaluable. On top of that, after I got used to how I programed the buttons (i.e. what lights are triggered and what colors of lights to use), I found myself using the switch almost exclusively). While the price is crazy high, you wont think twice about it after purchasing and setting up. I had some bad luck trying to connect to my hub at first, but now that its connected my troubles are gone. I know not many users have that problem, but I will at least note here that I had to do a factory reset in order to find it in my Hue app

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.

So easy to set up with the app.

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.

I’m the biggest fan of Hue in my family. I don’t mind pulling out my phone or using Alexa to adjust the lights in one of our rooms…the rest of my family on the other hand could care less. These dimmer switches are brilliant because if someone else in the household turns the hardwired switch off manually the whole system goes down. Now, anyone in the house can power the whole room on/off, dim the lights, and cycle through different schemes without needing the app. Docking 1-star because the mounting faceplate is a non-standard size. It’s about a 1/4” bigger than my standard plates…looks slightly off, wish they could’ve matched standard sizes. Not sure about the long term 3M adhesive holding up, but it sure was simple to place on the wall. Looks like there are mounting holes if you really want to do it right. Curious how long the battery will end up lasting, but the process of setting up and assigning to a room was super simple in the Hue app. Must have for Hue owners in a multi-person household.
