Philips Hue Smart Button Smart Lighting Accessory. Wireless

Very easy to set up. I had it as a switch to turn our island lights on and off. Magnet is ok but can be knocked off its small stand if not careful

I use this in my passage near the front door as an “all off button”, I hold it down when I’m leaving and it turns all the lights (hue) off to leave the house. Single press also turns the passage lights on/off – very handy

So small but effective. I have these dotted around the home to control lots of different lights round my house in so many ways. They can be mounted on the provided plate or just the button on its own depending on what you need. I purchased this one to go under a kitchen unit to provide those who want old school switching to turn off the kitchen hue lights. Brilliant.

I purchased this Hue smart button to control a monitor and video hub power from one small button. I assigned the button to an old unused (it broke) light bulb in hue so that I could configure it with no real function in the Hue app, then in my Home Assistant automation setup I set my monitor power (Controlled by a Kasso smart plug) as a toggle on short press and a toggle for my video hub ( HDMI switcher, powered the same) as long press. Long story short, this was what I needed to help with a home office setup and it works almost perfectly. In comparison to the Hue dimmer, the button functionality is much less useful and lower value for money. I wish the uk distribution would provide uk sized plates for this button and the dimmer, but they Philips Hue don’t and third party adaptions just don’t seem very good aesthetically.
