With a retail price of less than $20, the Philips Hue dimmer switch is not only a very affordable but also a very popular way to control individual or multiple lights in a smart home with Philips Hue. A few days ago, an interesting question about the dimmer switch popped up in my comments section.
I was able to draw your attention to this upcoming innovation back in September. Now Philips Hue has apparently started to slowly roll out the new functions. I have discovered the first comments from the community both on social networks and here in the comments. Specifically, it’s about the Hue Smart Button and the Hue Dimmer Switch, both of which have been available on the market for some time.
Late last year, Philips Hue introduced the Natural Light feature. A 24-hour scene that adjusts colour temperature throughout the day, always providing the optimal white light for your well-being: Cool, activating white tones in the morning and relaxing warm white in the evening. In the last few months, the smart scene has already received several updates, including the ability to switch between time periods faster or slower if desired.

Thanks to the Bluetooth function, Philips Hue now makes it very easy to enter the world of smart lighting. Buy a lamp, screw it in, turn on the light switch and you’re ready to go. Different colours can be selected and lamps dimmed via Bluetooth. But what about accessories? This is where a question from Sebastian from our community comes into play.

In the meantime, Philips Hue does offer some options to take a classic light switch out of action. And I don’t just mean the Philips Hue wall switch module, but also the fact that the mounting plates of the new dimmer switch and also the Smart Button are large enough to be mounted on a flush-mounted box.
Since today you can order the new Philips Hue dimmer switch, with the availability in Germany it still looks bad. While users in France or Belgium were partly already delivered, I’m still waiting for my order. I tried it via the Proshop, here the new dimmer switches should be shipped from Wednesday.

At the beginning of the week I already told you that there will soon be a second generation of the Philips Hue dimming switch. As I could now find out, Signify has not only slightly changed the design of the switch, but also adapted the way it works. I’ll tell you exactly what that will look like in this article.
Today, I can share another glimpse of a new product with you: Philips Hue will update its popular and well-known dimmer switch in the near future. We have known it in its current form for some years now. The new version will look a lot more modern, but will offer the same functions.
I am always looking for new ideas from the Hue world. And that’s exactly how I came across a product about a fortnight ago that I didn’t quite understand at first – probably also due to the language barrier, because I discovered the product in Denmark. Unfortunately, due to its size, the switch does not quite fit into German switch series, it is much smaller.
