Numerous readers have asked for more details about the conversion of the Hue Smart Button.

In the last few days, the useful Hue Smart Button made for some negative headlines. It is resource-hungry and causes problems with the Innr Smart Plug. In addition, it is still sold overpriced. Nevertheless, the Hue Smart Button opens up very interesting possibilities. This is how the Hue Smart Button is connected to a classic push button Hueblog reader Markus also dared to rebuild the switch and kindly provided me with detailed photos.

The Hue Smart Button is a handy little switch for Philips Hue. However, there are a few details to consider.

Not only Philips Hue lamps can be controlled by Muse Blocks.

There are not many products that I consider really innovative. This is definitely the case with the new Muse Blocks from Senic even if their technology does not come from the Berlin start-up itself. They have simply rebranded existing possibilities in a new and, above all, extremely stylish way. In each Muse Block – a small 7 x 7 cm magnet – there is a small NFC tag that can be equipped with its own web links by using a small app.

Several users have reported problems with the Hue Smart Button in the past few days. What is going on?

Does the Hue Smart Button cause problems with the stability of the whole system? Basically, it's just a simple switch. So I didn’t worry much after the following email from Hueblog reader Thomas: “I have 25 lamps and 13 switches, and the system is getting noticeably unstable.

Samotech plans to launch an adapter for the Philips Hue Smart Button on the market as early as December.

I already mentioned it in my test report about the Philips Hue Smart Button: Signify didn't think all the way to the end during development.

It's time to tell you all about the Philips Hue Smart Button. Here comes my review

The Philips Hue dimmer switch has become a real bestseller over the past years. Small wonder: despite a recommended retail price of 24.95 euros it was always available for less than 20 euros and thus a really good deal in the otherwise price-intensive Hue cosmos. Now there is another alternative with the Philips Hue Smart Button.

This was quicker than I thought: Amazon was not supposed to deliver the Hue Smart Button until November, but now it happened very quickly. And I have learned from Signify sources: Amazon, after all an exclusive sales partner for the start, will also apply the correct price of 19.99 Euro for the Hue Smart Button soon.

I want to show you the differences between three Hue Bridge compatible Smart Plugs in a new video.

We have known the Osram Smart Plug for years as an inexpensive accessory for the Philips Hue Bridge. The Innr SP 120 was added around a year ago. This smart plug mainly scores with its form factor.
