Review on Pack Of 2 Lutron Aurora Smart Bulb Dimmer Switches For Philips Hue Bulbs, Model Z3-1BRL-WH-L0-2 In White by Alonzo Wilkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great way to control Hue bulbs

When we bought our new house, I was committed to making it smart. I had already dabbled in Hue and SmartThings for years, but wanted to transition to HomeKit and Homebridge. Now that our new house doesn’t have a neutral wire in the switch boxes, I was limited to Lutron Caseta and lamps (1980’s build). Fortunately, Lutron brought out the aurora dimmer and it really solves most of my smart home issues. The Hue bulbs would get turned off at the switch, making them dumb bulbs again. But now guests and family can "hit the switch” and the Hue bulbs function as nature intended.My only complaint is it is unclear which hub the Aurora connects to. My hue hub and my Lutron hub are not next to each other so I experienced some connectivity issues in the beginning, which was resolved when I moved the two hubs closer to each other and more central in the house.Over all I’m thrilled with these little godsends.
