Philips Hue Smart Wall Switch Module Single Pack. Accessory for Indoor Home Smart LED Lighting Control, White,1 Count (Pack of 1)

I’ve been a hue fan for 8+ years so have quite the collection of hue.Yes you can go for cheaper brands which will do the same things however coming from someone who automated everything hue is the 1 company who I’ve never (touch wood) had any issues with. Yes there are some things I would change but for sure these work and they work well!

Bare in mind you need to have a hue bulb (or bulbs) in the room to use it. With that said, integration is seamless, a no-brainer, and reliable. Typical "set and forget" device. Philips claims the battery lasts a year, let's see.Once installed is HIGHLY recommended you turn off trip-switches before changing/replacing any bulbs as they will be permanently connected to the power grid.

Smart little product. Only downside is it must work with a Phillips hue bulb

EAsy to fit, I’ve used 3 of these now and whilst not cheap they solve a issue in having a traditional on/off by the door whilst using a hue light switch.I’ve used two units uk cont light bulbs in combo with the hue light switch.One of units can control a double gang light unit containing 2 light switches, also it can control a hue smart plug which I have my outside soft fit eves lights attached too, I put a double gang light switch by the hall to which it a dumby light switch and now I can control the outside lights by the hall way light switch without having to wire in cables and having unsightly cables running up the outside walls all good I guess until the wifi packs in!!

Great piece of kit and each unit can connect to two switches (2 gang switch).. Basically the switch will then act like a hue switch and can control anything connected to the system.. Very slim and fits in a standard back box.

I wanted to fit this behind a 2 gang smart light switch which controls a number of Hue bulbs plus some LED light strips (separately). The smart light switch requires a live but the Hue Wall Switch Module won't let you feed the live into the switch. Should have maybe looked a bit more into this before buying the switch module, but as others have said, who thought powering this from a battery was a good idea when you have mains power right next to it (and in a few years will have to get an electrician in to change the battery).

I have a set of 6 standard downlights that light our porch and the pathway to it. They are controlled by a single switch. I want to automate them so they turn off when I leave home and turn on when I get back. Most makes of this type of smart device allow you to make the switch smart so that it can switch a set of non-smart bulbs on/off. However, when ordering this Hue device, I I didn’t spot that it does not directly control the attached bulbs - it instructs a Hue bridge to control one or more Hue bulbs. So, in my case I would have to replace all 6 existing bulbs with Hue ones as well as fitting this device behind the existing switch, which is expensive and a bit of a fiddle. There are situations where this device could be useful; for instance if you have a lighting circuit with a small number of Hue bulbs controlled by 2 or 3 switches e.g. a hall and landing. This would require, for example, a Hue button over each switch, with the risk that people move the button so it isn’t near the place you need it. One of these devices behind one of the existing switches would be better in this case, especially if you particularly like the look of your existing switches. But I can’t see many other scenarios where it would be economical.

It works but it's very expensive for what it does. Better to just use a smart switch or dimmer.
