For example, you might have a scene perfect for reading and a different one when you are about to go to bed (e.g dimmed lights). The Hue button supports up to 5 consecutive presses so you can set 5 different scenes to quickly switch to any of them instantly. It has four buttons: Power (on and off), Brightness Up, Brightness Down, and a Hue button for your presets.
Adding the switch as an accessory is quick on the Hue app and you can also program the buttons within the app. The Hue Dimmer Switch can be added from the Philips Hue app and obviously, if you have a Philips Hue Bridge set up at your wireless network, you can add up to 50 lights on it (or 10 without a Bridge). I’m sure it depends on the usage too but I guess we’ll find out in a few years time! I personally prefer that it has a built-in, rechargeable battery so I don’t have to keep buying new batteries but Philips does state that the battery can last 3 years or more. It’s also useful when you need to replace the battery within (1 x CR2450). You can then use it as a remote control and snap it back on the plate after. Speaking of the “wall mount” option, you can easily snap the dimmer switch out of the back plate as it is magnetised.

I really like this approach because many do not want or know how to change their current light switch to a smart switch. The packaging includes a wall back plate in case you want to mount the switch onto the wall (works with adhesive tape). Philips Hue Dimmer Switch Review – Packaging & Unboxing

Philips Hue Dimmer Switch is a smart switch that can turn your Hue smart lights on and off, dim them, or trigger your favourite presets (for movie watching, chilling, party, etc). Well, in this case, probably tap on a switch. While I can always use my phone or voice assistant (like Siri and Alexa) to control them, there’s nothing quicker and straight-to-the-point like flicking a switch. Philips Hue Dimmer Switch Review – I have lots of smart lights at home, probably around 15-20 ranging from Philips Hue lights, LIFX, Nanoleaf, and LASER Connect SmartHome.
