Did you know Philips Hue smart bulbs are only active when the light switch is in the on/up position? If the switch is accidentally turned off or Wi-Fi connection is lost, the Philips Hue smart bulbs no longer operates from any control source (wireless app, remote, or voice). The Aurora ~Always Ready~ Smart Bulbs Dimmer is the first and only solution that ensures your Hue smart bulbsare kept in ~ready mode. Its elegant, intuitive, easy-touch dimming aesthetic allows anyone to control the lights, even if they don~t have the app.

Most reliable hue light so far
on August 23, 2019
Posted by: r8ter
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have more than a dozen hue compatible and hue branded light switches, this one appears to be the most reliable so far. Requiring only 1 gentle tap to turn on the lights. Sometimes other switches require a hefty press and multiple presses to get the lights to turn on. This one is also the most intuitive for guests that have never seen smart lights before. Only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5, it is only available in white, some options for ivory or light almond would be preferable.

Not the best ice maker
on July 20, 2019
Posted by: r8ter
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this because it was on sale, but I wouldn't buy it again. Other icemakers I've bought will keep making ice as long as the catch tray isn't full. This one, once it's full, you have to open the lid for it to keep making ice, even if it melts to the point the catch tray is empty.

I currently have the Nighthawk AC2300. Can this extender be solely used for my SMART HOME devices, such as RING DOORBELL and MOTION LIGHT CAMERAS and etc and does it have it's own unique "PASSWORD"?

yes, you could set this up so that it has it's own unique SSID's and password to only join certain devices

We bought three of these for behind our large tv. They were installed by best buys geek squad. When put behind the TV first, they made a mistake and they had to get them off and on again. Maybe that's why they keep falling off? How can I fix it?

If geek squad installed I would call them and have it fixed. If they took them off and put them back on again, they will need new 3M adhesive strips.

Enhance your Hue lighting system with this Philips Hue dimmer switch. Removing the control unit from the magnetic base plate lets you use it as a handheld remote, and the on button also adjusts Philips colors and set ambiance levels. Adjust light settings precisely with this wireless Philips Hue dimmer switch.
 

Is it legal to remove original light switch (making HOT/Live wire always on). Put a wall plate and add this Hue switch on?

Code will tell you where you need to put the switches, as long as you don't cover up a switch and not replace it then you should be fine.

hello, my electrician just installed white ambiance lighting and the bridge- it works great, however he is using regular, home depot dimmer, switch, it turns on and off, but the dimmer not working with these lights? Do i need this dimmer?

no, a normal dimmer will actually harm these bulbs and cause them to fail sooner. You need a hue dimmer
