Overview
The Philips Hue Smart Dimmer Switch Remote is a battery-powered control button for existing Philips Hue lights, not a wired in-wall switch, and it requires a Philips Hue Bridge to function.
Despite sitting in a wall-switch category, this is a portable, magnet or adhesive mounted remote rather than an electrical replacement for a toggle switch. It only controls Hue lights already connected through a Hue Bridge, so it adds nothing on its own without that ecosystem already in place.
- Battery-powered, no wiring required
- Requires Philips Hue Bridge
- Wall mount, magnetic, or handheld use
- Cycles up to four saved scenes
Who it's for
Fits households that already run Philips Hue bulbs on a Hue Bridge and want a physical button for lights, kids, or guests who don't want to use an app or voice assistant. Not useful to anyone without a Hue Bridge or Hue bulbs already installed.
