Nice video, helped a lot. I'm about to renovate my apartment, so I already bought hue ceiling lamp for the bathroom, and am thinking about buying hue mirror lamp for the bathroom as well. Both come with dimmer switches, one for each lamp to control. Is it possible to connect both lamps to hue bridge first and then decide which dimmer switch actually turns on/off certain lamp, because I don't want to turn on/off both lamps if I only need one at a time, or is one dimmer switch, after connecting both lamps to hue bridge first, controlling both lamps in one room (not possible that each dimmer switch controls certain lamp)? Appreciate the feedback

just entered the hue universe. three spotlights and one double spotlight. two floors. two dimmer switches. hue app by philips is limited, so i suggest everyone tries paid apps like huedynamic. you can program the buttons on the dimmer, like press or hold. for controlling more rooms, create zones in your home. ive heard people complain about hue for ages, but for now ours is working just fine. next step is tryin ikeas tradfri rgb bulbs to save a buck or two, and huedynamic app has a switch for tradfri compatibility. fingers crossed that works, because almost 100$ for three gu10 rgb bulbs is quite expensive.

Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have....

I bought the starter set with Bluetooth bulbs. It came with bulbs, the switch and the hub (which I'm not using). First thing I did was connecting the switch to the bulb, it worked. Afterwards I downloaded the Hue Bluetooth app and set it up. Now, after that, I can't use my switch anymore, I also can't connect it again doing this. It isn't connecting even after resetting it (by pinching the "setup" button on the back and also by pressing the four buttons at the same time). I don't know what to do anymore, and I can't find ANY information online. The switch just won't work and just started using Hue today!

I live in a 2 floor flat and invested in Phillips bulbs, the hue bridge, dimmer switch and spotlights. I do not recommend it for the simple reason that the bridge can only work on one floor. I'd hoped to connect my entire flat lighting, not possible for two floors. Also this dimmer switch can only be used for one bulb and when Phillips updated their app I found that 3 of my light bulbs in the bedroom no longer worked with the app, even after manually entering the serial numbers. Will honestly not recommend Phillips hue to anyone with a house unless you are prepared to buy a hue bridge per room etc. Waste of money.

No electrician required until you want to use it in a bedroom for example. Most light switches are located at the entry to a room and if you don't bypass the switch, then someone (wife) just turns off the switch to the room and the hue is useless. Need to have an electrician bypass the switch, then remove the switch and place this over the top.

You could actually get a plate that goes over your existing switch and covers it and the dimmer can sit in position there. Avoids accidentally turning off and again no electrician required.
