In the very beginning, I was hesitate to purchase this v2 dimmer from hue product line, as it has round corner and has the dimmer up and down button on actually one physical button which differs from the v1 hue dimmer, which I have been used it for many years and liked it so much. But since last year, one of my v1 dimmer became unstable connecting to my home assistant hub, I started to consider to buy a new one, and since then, the v1 dimmer was already difficult to find on market and thus after waited for a year, eventually decided to go with v2. First of all, v2 dimmer (this one) has the same amount of buttons, but different labels, as the top button has changed to be ON/OFF rather than v1's ON only. This led to the bottom bottom to be customizable. You can configure it on your phone app to be a scene-change button or others. This v2 dimmer works smoothly with my home assistant (HA) green (I have hue bridge as well, but switched to use HA one year ago), I would highly confirm that it works so good and smooth with HA and so customizable). So that, if you are an HA user, go for it, won't regret. The attached picture shows what actions/automations I added for the dimmer in HA, I left the bottom "Hue" button unused for future. Review: Simple Setup, Flexible Controls, and a Solid Addition to a Hue Setup - Setting up this Hue Smart Button was quick and straightforward. I was able to link it to the exact lights I wanted it to control without any hassle, and it’s been working reliably ever since. My usage is pretty simple, but after seeing how flexible the configuration options are, I’m considering picking up additional switches for other areas. The adhesive on the back of the wall plate sticks well, and it’s held firmly in place since the day I mounted it. Some reviewers have mentioned concerns about the magnet strength, and while it isn’t especially strong, it’s perfectly adequate for my setup. The area where I installed the switch doesn’t get a lot of traffic, and I’ve been able to use it normally without the remote coming loose. Overall, it’s a clean, easy‑to‑use addition to a Hue system with enough customization options to grow into over time. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08W8GLPD5 | | Actuator Type | Remote Control | | Brand | Philips Hue | | Brand Name | Philips Hue | | Circuit Type | 1-way | | Colour | White | | Connectivity Protocol | ZigBee | | Connector Type | Screw Terminals | | Contact Material | Copper, Brass | | Contact Type | Normally Open | | Control Method | Remote | | Controller Type | Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,793 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00046677562779 | | International Protection Rating | IP20 | | Item Dimensions | 15 x 89 x 125 Millimeters | | Item Weight | 0.08 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | AONELAS | | Material Type | Brass, Copper | | Model Number | 562777 | | Mounting Type | Wall Mount | | Number of Positions | 3 | | Operation Mode | ON-OFF | | Part Number | 562777 | | Switch Type | Dimmer Switch | | Terminal | Screw | | UPC | 046677562779 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Operation Mode:** ON-OFF - **Contact Type:** Normally Open - **Connector Type:** Screw Terminals - **Brand:** Philips Hue - **Switch Type:** Dimmer Switch ## Images ![Philips Hue v2 Smart Dimmer Switch and Remote, Installation-Free, Smart Home, Exclusively for Philips Hue Smart Lights (2021 Version), White - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5134Diycx6L.jpg) ![Philips Hue v2 Smart Dimmer Switch and Remote, Installation-Free, Smart Home, Exclusively for Philips Hue Smart Lights (2021 Version), White - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GYNtFW3jL.jpg) ![Philips Hue v2 Smart Dimmer Switch and Remote, Installation-Free, Smart Home, Exclusively for Philips Hue Smart Lights (2021 Version), White - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zM78epKsL.jpg) ![Philips Hue v2 Smart Dimmer Switch and Remote, Installation-Free, Smart Home, Exclusively for Philips Hue Smart Lights (2021 Version), White - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lxhGgZluL.jpg) ![Philips Hue v2 Smart Dimmer Switch and Remote, Installation-Free, Smart Home, Exclusively for Philips Hue Smart Lights (2021 Version), White - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RYcYrMhUL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What's the difference between this new V2 dimmer and the older design?** A: I feel V1 is superior. Form should follow function! V2 is aesthetically superior to V1 V1 is functionally superior to V2: * V2 pivots off the wall on occasion when pressed on edge due to aesthetic geometry & reduced magnet strength * V2 buttons can be pressed without activation (I frequently do and it's annoying) * V2 button functionality is easier to understand, however, less user friendly overall imo... I have to push the power button, then shift my hand to push a different button to change the setting. Seems simple, and it's actually quite annoying. ** V1, I just push the On button multiple times to cycle through scenes. No shifting my hand to find a different button. Simple and 'low friction.' The buttons always register a positive press. **Q: Can this be used outdoors? If not, is there a version that can?** A: I’m using it outside in a box Plenty of humidity but no actual water contact and it has been working well **Q: why is this priced higher than manufacturer and other stores?** A: A seller name Ellions is scamming Amazon customers by charging double the price claiming there is a "premium" version of the product (there isn't). He's been reported. **Q: Does it emit any light whatsoever when it is turned on? I would like to power a fan with this at night and I don't want any extras lights in my room.** A: There is a dim LED visible through the housing (no visible lens) for 30 seconds when the power is turned on or off. Otherwise it is dark. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality and Stable Functionality *by V***O on 1 October 2025* I have about 6 years of experience with home automation and Philips Hue products, and this Hue Smart Dimmer (v2) stays in one of the best of my home automation gadgets like the title states.
