Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

If you have hue bulbs, this is really a must to have. They have their own central hub, that means you must still use their hub. It also works with alexa.

The philips hue ecosystem isn't the cheapest for sure, but my experience has been very positive so far. While it's a tad pricier than similar products on the market, its seamless integration into the hue universe makes it worth every cent. I’m not sur...  Read More

The hue button is fantastic for customizing up to five lighting scenes. The top button adjusts brightness or acts as a dimmer. Even though it has only 4 *, the new software update in the app now the switch is ever more customizable. It's much better t...  Read More



Cons

Do not buy this idiotic thing. Why not spend that $40 on any other hue or friends-of-hue switch that will easily be installed on top of that blank faceplate? It's an epic and idiotic fail. Do yourself a favor and get cheaper options.

Neither the second or third hue button work. Both are just dead and don't respond at all, even after a reset. The only timer you can use with these plugs is an actual countdown timer. The app in bluetooth mode isn't practical at all.

Packaging/appearance


The product info sheet with hieroglyphics and no words that comes in the box is utterly useless as an installation guide.

Competitiveness


While it's a tad pricier than similar products on the market, its seamless integration into the hue universe makes it worth every cent.


The smart plug works just as well as all their other products.


But zero thanks to philips hue for a product picture on amazon with a smaller square mounting plate, and zero thanks for a prod...  Read More

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This updated version has more rounded corners on the back of the remote that it constantly falls off the magnetic base if you dont hit the button completely square when its on the wall


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Functionally it works well and is very convenient but it is really frustrating to chase it across the floor when it falls off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
