Works great (w/Hue Hub)

These work really well on their own. Easy to install, the battery lasts forever (couple years and still claim 100%), and the Hue lights don’t flicker when dimmed.A bit expensive for the whole Lutron/Hue package, but I had spent twice as much on different dimmers and LED bulbs that always flickered when dimmed. Only the really old Philips LED bulbs ever worked without obvious flickering for me.If you have some programming background and desire the "all 4 hue” iPhone app gives you the ability to…

Pros
  • ‎1.54 Inches
Cons
  • May not fit in with some home decor styles

Great Way to Control Hue Lights

I got this for a pendant light in my kitchen that uses a Hue bulb. I wanted a switch that visitors could use to control that light. My other light switches are either zigbee/z-wave or wifi, but I didn't need that for this switch since the bulb was already smart. This control was a great solution. My light switches are the paddle type, and even though there is an adaptor included, the included instructions were only for regular switches. I had to Google an answer and sort of figure my way…

Pros
  • ‎1
Cons
  • The added features may not be worth the investment for some consumers

This device is very simple in operation, but works extremely well. One click for on, one for off and the ring spins for dimming control. I had zero issues with install, it is just one single screw you tighten down on the switch stem for the base, then you snap the switch on. Took a minute or so as the screw is tiny and I was being careful to not hit the wall with the multitool I was using.Adding it to Hue was equally easy, no issues and found and worked right away as the instructions said. I…

Pros
  • ANYONE CAN USE: Allows for anyone to adjust your Philips Hue smart bulbs at the wall, no app required
Cons
  • May require a hub for the Philips Hue system to work seamlessly

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…

Pros
  • Switches & Dimmers
Cons
  • May experience connectivity issues with Wi-Fi or phone app

Falls off the wall. Requires selected Zigbee hubs/dongles.

This does not stick with the back switch.It will pop and fall of the switch when manipulated.A fix that seems to work for me so far is a bit of acrylic, 5s glue on the tiny binding surface at the top of the switch.I have integrated this with Home Assistant with great hopes.The rotating dimmer function seems to be working well.You need a proper Zigbee coordinator dongle for the "click" function to work.Conbee 2 and the TI CC2652P + CP2102N based SONOFF dongles appear to work.The EFR32MG21 based…

Pros
  • ‎Mexico
Cons
  • Switches may need to be replaced more frequently due to the added technology

Fantastic for use with hue

When I bought my new house, all the switches were the standard single-throw switches that have been popular for many many years. These switches work perfectly with them to control your Hue bulbs. You simply pair them with your system through the app on your phone and then attach them over your existing light switch (while it's switched to "on") and tighten down the base with a screwdriver. Installation literally takes less than 3 minutes. Then, to use, you simply turn them to adjust brightness…

Pros
  • ‎Lutron
Cons
  • Price may be considered too high for a pack of 2 switches

One of a kind product

I looked everywhere for an alternative, but I came up short. I liked how this easy went over the existing switch so the install was super easy. My only issues is I have one switch that is a single pole dual paddle switch. They sell a cover for single paddle switches, but mine has two switches vertically stacked, so it would cover the other switch.

Pros
  • ‎2.08 ounces
Cons
  • Majority of the control features only accessible through the Philips Hue app
