Philips Hue Tap Dial Switch [Black] Easy Smart Lighting Control. Indoor Home Lighting Automation, Set Scenes, Ambiance and Dimming.

This has been the first purchase of this Hue Tap Dial Switch for me as I have many of the more usual and older style Hue Dimmer switches. This switch has hands down been so much more reliable and faster to turn on or off the lights it is controlling than the old style switches. On a personal note I also prefer the style of this circular switch on the wall too and love the fact it is available in black or white. While I use all my switches from the Apple Home environment I also love the rotating dial for dimming option but beware if you use Apple Home this option is NOT available as the rotating dial is not a button available to configure in Apple home at the time of writing this review. Lets hope it will over time. If you only use the Philips Hue App to manage all your lights and you only have hue lights then the rotating dimmer dial will work perfectly but It will not dim other manufacture lights either so beware of those unsaid downfalls. I have navigated this in the Apple home app by making three levels of brightness per switch for the lights I control so button 1 is 100% button 2 is 70% button 3 is 40% and button 4 is zero. I will certainly be investing in more of these to replace the old hue dimmer switches in the heavy traffic areas of the house due to their speed and more reliable connection and works on first press operation. Such a vast improvement to the older Hue dimmer switches that often have a long lag or you need to press more than once.

Have multiple set up around the home replacing standard light switch's, enables control of multiple entity's around the home. Connects to HA without issue and looks and feels a lot better than other options on the market. Great for home automation especially allowing guests and visitors to be able to control everything easy.

This is exactly what I wanted for the hue. A multi scene switch. I currently have Lutron Telume and Grafik Eyes installed and they are brilliant bits of kit, but they are leading edge dimmers and they don’t play well with LEDs bulbs. So have replaced a lot of lights with philips hue options but I have not had something that adequately replicated the abilities of the Lutrons to have different scenes at the light switch. This does exactly that with the added benefit of the circular dimming dial. It’s also available in something other than boring white which seems to be the only colour you can get light switches for hue up till now. My personal preference for lights and sockets is polished chrome and black controls which is what I have on the lutrons but here’s hoping we’ll get some polished chrome at some point.only 2 stars for value for money as Hue stuff is very overpriced, but it does what it should and then some.

I bought this to control Hue light bars and a Hue bulb in my home office. I also wanted it to control my Govee lamp which I have had some success with. The 4 buttons & dial can be configured to control individual bulbs, rooms or zones and has several options available. On a single press you can get it to cycle through different scenes, select a single scene, have a time-based scene selection (e.g. a different scene in the morning), or switch lights off. Long press can be configured to switch lights off too. There is also a smart on/off function whereby a short press will cycle through scenes, but if you leave it for 3 seconds the next short press will switch the light off instead. It comes with a backing place to stick on the wall, however I have mine directly attached to the leg of a Secretlab desk. This works really well and the magnet is strong enough to hold it firm while using the dimmer dial. The black colour looks great on the desk too as it doesn't stand out. You can control non-Hue products to a degree but it is limited. You can do this via a routine on Alexa as the single button presses are exposed as events. It's not great though as one button can be used to turn on a Govee light (for example) but then you can't switch it off with the same button. Long presses are not sent over to Alexa as a separate event. Note that whilst it appeared in Alexa as a device I had trouble getting the events to fire, in the end I had to de-link and re-link the Hue skill. After that it worked fine and it is turning on my Govee lamp. The Alexa routine will be fired regardless of what else you have set up on the button in the Hue app. Overall glad I got it, looks great and is easy to use. It is too expensive though in my opinion, I managed to get it for £31.99 before it shot back up to £40+. Even the price I paid is a bit too much for a switch.

Great Switch! You can cover plenty of combinations with hue lighting and home devices Will be buying more Can be tricky to set up but works a treat afterwards Been faultless for weeks so far

Love the ease of the switch and looks smart, although a little bulky.

Another excellent product from Phillips very difficult to purchase in the UK but Amazon brought it through from Europe and works absolutely perfectly. Demi is excellent gives you very good control of your system.

Looks & works great, the alignment pin is pretty small so you have to be careful to put it back on correctly. For smooth scrolling in HA I set it up in the Hue app and made all 4 buttons STOP a timer automation, then assigned the rotation directly to a Philips light. Doing it via HA seemed jumpy. The backplate seems to fit perfectly over a 1 GANG backbox. However if your cutout is slightly bigger it will show. I had to 3D print a little spacer 10mm wider on all sides to hide the bad marks.

Comme tout l’écosystème Hue ce produit est parfait, les fonctionnalités sont incroyables et multiples, je m’en sers tous les jours sans aucuns bugs

Easy set-up. Material feels high quality. Small. Nice combination of functions/buttons. Black works well in interior, not shiny at all.

Lo esperado de esta línea de la marca. Calidad a alto precio.

Works well

Evde hue aydınlatma ürünü kullanıyorum. Bunlar için de tap butonlar, dim yapan 4 tuşlu olanlar da dahil 6-7 adet hue anahtarım mevcut. Ancak bunlarla ampullerin parlaklığını açıp kapatmak benim açımdan pek kullanışlı değildi. Farklı senaryolar, basılı tutmalar ve tıklamalarla uğraşmak hoşuma gitmiyordu. Bu sebeple ürünü takip ediyordum ve indirimde iken denemek için satın aldım. * Yaklaşık 4 aylık kullanımım boyunca elbette en sevdiğim özelliği dairesel butonu çevirerek parlaklığı değiştirmek. Ayrıca üzerinde 4 butonun bulunması, tek seferde 4 (dilerseniz üst üste tıklamalarla daha fazlası) cihazı kontrol etmek benim için faydalı oldu. Verenda ışıklarını ve bahçe aydınlatmalarını tek ürünle kontrol edebiliyorum. Diğer hue anahtarlarında olduğu gibi bu da mıknatıslı ve ben metal bir yüzeyde kullanıyorum. -Ürünü homeassistant üzerinden (zha) kullanıyorum. Farklı cihazlarımı da kontrol etmek için-mesela bir tuşu sonoff bahçe sulamasını açıp kapatmak için kullanıyorum- Normalde hue uygulamasına tanıtıp ha üzerinden senaryo ve otomasyonlar oluşturuyordum. Ancak elektrik kesintilerinden sonra otomasyonlar durmasına rağmen tuşların çalışmadığını farkettim. Sonrasında cihazı direk homeassistant a zigbee cihazı olarak ekledim ve sonrasında herhangi bir sorun yaşamadım. * Sonuç olarak evinizde hue aydınlatmaları ya da ha gibi bir akıllı ev sistemi kullanıyorsanız bence kullanışlı bir zigbee anahtarı. (sonoff anahtarları da kullandım/kullanıyorum. Fakat bu anahtar bana daha kullanışlı ve kapsamlı geldi. Sanırım diğer anahtarlarımı da uygun fiyat denk gelirse bu ürünle değiştireceğim.)
