What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Magnetic mount makes it easy to use on the couch whilst watching a movie. Works perfectly with phillips hue play lights. One minor issue is that there is a slight misalignment of the dimmer *.
The bridge is easy to install with the app. One thing i didn’t realise is that the bridge has to be connected to your wifi router via a cable.
The hue smart plug responds very quickly to the sensor and voice commands via alexa. Bluetooth connectivity is good. Using it in my home theater with alex's voice command.
Cons
I believe phillips has become complacent with their lead in smart home devices and don't care so much about fixing issues.
Highlights
Quality
Easy to install and a great product.
Really well built, high-quality material, and super responsive.

Sadly its very fat and i couldn't use it everywhere i wanted ( on power boards etc).
Price
Enjoying the smart lights and it’s worth money
If you're looking for automations only, better off getting an app instead for a tenth of the price.
There are paid 3rd party apps that still let you do it though.
These do always work so for me the that’s the price i pay.
Shipping
Arrived on time and works as expected.
Competitiveness
This dimmer switch works great with zigee2mqtt (alternative to hue hubs).
Phillips hue is the only smart lighting brand i trust so far.
In the future, i think i'll be buying more philips hue products to attach to this.
One disadvantage compared to the wemo plug is that it doesn't monitor power usage.

I also wish it came with a thinner mount as the current mount is too wide to go on an architrave

I ended up 3d printing a mount which worked out well
