Philips HueSmart Wireless Dimmer Switch V2 (Installation-Free, Exclusive Philips Hue Lights) for Indoor Home Lighting, Livingroom, Bedroom

Was setting up hue lights for client's kitchen, I have like 30+ hue lights at home so I have a bridge. The clients don't really care about the bridge they just wanted good lights so I was trying to pair the lights with the remote only. I got this v2 one because it specifically said it will work. At first try I couldn't get it to work because I was using the app to pair it. On the instruction it actually has the section showing how to pair without bridge and you just pair it by placing the remote close to the lightstrip or bulb and hold the button it will pair and work. Love it.

It's a light switch. It switches lights. A+ Easy to connect and customize, with near-infinite variations if for some reason you need to switch frequently between 1000 Lumens and 5 Lumens.

Easy to connect to Philips Hue app. And since it’s a stick on plate, it’s also a convenient and easy install for wherever/however you need.

Amazing product. Highly recommend. You will need to have a Philips bridge in order to pair the device with multiple bulbs. But works great and dims perfectly.

Great remote when using hue.

I don't like the new design. The original buttons was better. But it works fine

The switch came fast and worked.

Was very easy to set up and install. The wall mount has the option to screw it into the wall but I opted to just use the 3M adhesive that comes on the back of the wall mount. I put it on the wall just above the actual light switches. The remote sticks to the mount via magnets. The magnets are the perfect strength, they hold the remote firmly in place but yet it is easy to pop the remote off the wall to keep on a nightstand etc.Setup in the app was easy and you can really customize what you want each button to do. My only complaint is that when I first walk into the room I have to hit the buttons a few times before they work. I’m guessing this is because the remote is in some kind of standby mode when not in use? I’m hooked up to a bridge on 1 gig high speed business internet at the house so I don’t think it’s a connectivity issue on my end. Despite this minor flaw I’m very happy I purchased this remote so I don’t have to fumble around with my phone every time I walk into a room. Will probably get hue bulbs + one of these switches in every room eventually
