With me already owning 5 of these, it’s fair to say I like these devices. However, unlike some people, I haven’t really gone ‘all in’ with Hue products, currently just owning a Hue Bridge (2nd gen) a Hue Go, the aforementioned Dimmer Switches and eight basic ‘Warm White’ Hue bulbs.

The dimmer switch is a great way to control your lights without the need to get your phone out your pocket, or get up and get it from the room you left it in.
