Review on πŸ’‘ Enhance Your Smart Lighting Experience with the Philips Hue Smart Button by Jordan Jackson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Battery empty on arrival, then does not work well with fresh batteries

Bought three, all three arrived with dead batteries. One seemed to work, the LED was flashing to initiate pairing, but the battery was too low to pair with my system, a huge waste of time. After replacing the battery and connecting one, it doesn't work. The button is magnetic and I was hoping to attach it to a metal door frame. When placed on metal the signal doesn't get through even with the top of the button facing my hub. In my experience, this only works well when standing away from walls. As a single button, you can assume it can be paired with a single lightbulb, but it can only be paired with a room or an entire system. Be prepared for the extra work of setting up your system to include a button that most likely doesn't work or rarely works.

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Expensive
