“I don’t have many viewers and I want you all to be safe” is an excellent thing to say. You’re a good bloke.

Can this work with Philips Hues? (With a Hue Bridge) ? Does this just mean I have to pair to HomeKit/GoogleHome Apps (either) and since the lights are there then it'll work together? but i also mean that this device won't be seen by the Philps Hues App/Bridge setup right?

@neverman3398 Ай бұрын

I have the single version. The light will turn blue when paired but weirdly, it only comes on when the light is on. I would have preferred it the other way around. Lol

@neverman3398 Yes maybe this is something they could do a software update on in the future to give people a choice. I like the light is not too bright or eye catching.

@@RicksTechReviews it just seems odd that way around. Lol

@Dr.Stacker Ай бұрын

do they have a dimmable version of these for downlights?

@RicksTechReviews Ай бұрын

No not at the moment, it just has the ability to turn lights on and off and trigger routines using IFTTT.

Are you saying that the lights that are attached to this switch can be turned off and on using the switch, but the power is still applied to the light fitting constantly? What about if you have a 3 gang switch?

@RicksTechReviews Ай бұрын

@David-bl1bt Hi, no the light fitting only has power when the switch is pressed or you ask your voice assistant to switch on the lights or if a routine is triggered. Other than that there is no power to the fitting. Hope this clears it up.

@Gixer750K2 Ай бұрын

@@RicksTechReviews That's not true. This is the non-neutral wire switch. That means that there is always a very small current passing through the switch to the light fitting. This has to be the case otherwise the switch itself would not have a complete circuit, and would not work. In the UK the main neutral wire is in the light fitting, so in order for a complete circuit (for the switch to be powered), the live in has to go through the light fitting (L1 or L2), to reach the neutral in the light fitting itself. Circuits 101. So that small current is possibly enough to allow your smart bulb connected to the circuit to have constant power. If the switch only passed a current when the switch was ON then your smart bulb would lose power (Same as dumb switch)

@@Gixer750K2 Thanks for explaining that. Much appreciated

@David-bl1bt Ай бұрын

@RicksTechReviews surely if this is the case then it defeats the object. If there is no power to the fitting that has smart bulbs, then they will be offline and therfore cannot be controlled by a voice assistant. There needs to be power to the smart bulbs for them to function as smart bulbs!

@@David-bl1bt I have included activating the smart switch to on before my other automations in my routines so when I ask for say my lights to go into movie mode the lights on my media wall will trigger on first and then it will dim the smart bulbs. Other people may do this differently but that is how mine is set up.
