Overview
A magnetic backing and an included adhesive let this Hue dimmer remote go on a wall or a fridge without any wiring. It talks to the lights over Zigbee and offers three marked buttons plus scene toggling.
Anyone in the house can dim or switch Hue lights without the app. The limitation is that it is a remote, not a wired switch, and a Hue Bridge is required to connect it.
Who it's for
Households with Hue bulbs who want a simple physical control suit this remote. Rooms with non-Hue lighting, or no Bridge, are outside what it does.
Pros and cons
- No wiring needed
- Bridge control of Hue lights
- Magnetic and adhesive mounting
- Long battery life
- Hue Bridge required
- Not a hardwired switch
- Controls only Hue devices
Performance notes
Button presses travel over Zigbee to the Bridge, which relays them to the lights, so response depends on the Hue system. The battery lasts years because the remote only transmits on presses.
