Thanks :) I hope for some more Hue stuff in the future, what do you think about the new Wall Switch Module?

If the intros and outros are just a "welcome" and "hope you liked it" I always appreciate a video not having them

Does this only work on Phillips Bulb ??

Hopefully soon available here: www.philips-hue.com/en-gb/p/hue-dimmer-switch--latest-model-/8719514274617

It’s available on Amazon 😁

@@dan9700 I sorted it in a way... Took off the old cover and stuck the new cover over.

Should be availably anytime now. Where are you from?

Los Angeles. Can someone send me one?

Similar behaviour on my device. The bulb gets on with the first press, already. But not with the inteded brightness. I have to press again (but not a third time as it will cycle through the other scenes instead. Even though they are not within the current time frame...)

I am searching the entire internet for this issue. I wonder why so few people complain about it. When I press the power or hue button it uses a brightness I have not configured anywhere. Then you have to press the hue button (but only once!). Even though I configured time based lighting and not the scene cycle, clicking the hue button again does cycle between the scenes. Did you find a solution?

@@christians6843 no I don't even use my hue dimmer switch. I just use friends of hue

You'd want to put them in a screwed connector block behind the switch so that power is constant, but also you can revert back to a standard switch in future easier than if there were soldered.

@@jamiemac4208 soldering is illegal to do in 230V PLEASE DO NOT!

Two rooms to be controlled separately on one remote would be kind of weird. When you press 'on' on the remote, which room would you want to be switched on then? And how would the remote know which of the rooms it should control at that moment? So no, only one room. But you can control a ZONE. If you make a zone containing lamps from both rooms, you can control them at once, so not separately. But you can also do that with the old dimmer switch, you don't need to get the new version for that. There are dimmer switches from Friends of hue so different brands, which might be able to do that. There are some that have four buttons that I believe can control different rooms or zones. But those are 80-140 euro's each. You might be better and cheaper of placing two Hue switches next to each other. The only thing I can think off with only one remote to control 2 rooms separately is by creating a zone which contains lamps from both rooms and make scenes which switch on or off the lamps per room. In scene 1 you only light up lamps in room A and in scene 2 you put lamps from room B. But that limits the possibilities of course. You can't choose for a lighting scene per room that way. It can be handy for some people perhaps. If you for instance have a hallway downstairs and a hallway upstairs. You could place a remote downstairs. Then you make a scene with the lights on in only the downstairs hallway and place that under the first press. Then you make a scene with all the lights on, so downstairs and upstairs and then a new scene with only the lights on at the upstairs hallway. At no 4 you could choose one light upstairs and one light downstairs completely dimmed as nightlight. Now when you are pressing the on button, the lights will go on downstairs. Pressing it again will switch on the lights upstairs too. Pressing a third time will switch off the lights downstairs while leaving on the lights upstairs. You could place another remote upstairs with this the other way around. When you press the button upstairs at first only the lights upstairs will go on, 2nd lights downstairs turn on ass well and 3rd upstairs go out. But I think this is only handy when you use regular white lights, since you can't control the colours any more because you used scenes to 'kind of' separate the rooms.

Okay, dat is best raar. Ik schrijf net een heel verhaal en na het op enter drukken zie ik je naam en denk... heeej, die ken ik hahaha. Heel bijzonder dit ;-)

@@alexanderpasnl haha das echt grappig idd xD maar zoiets als met die zones is wel een goeie.. want het is in principe 1 ruimte, maar ingedeeld in keuken en woonkamer. Ik gebruik verder ook maar 1 scene dus ik had eigenlijk gehoopt dat als je 2x op de uitknop zou drukken dat die dan een bepaalde ruimte uit zo doen;)

I have like 20 of the gen 1 switches and definitely will not be making the "upgrade"

I like the new one, so I would upgrade. It's not expensive and you should get some bugs for your old one, too.

I have 8 of the old and 1 of the new and tried it for some months. Bought some extra old ones yesterday, to be able to avoid the new ones for the rest of my life.

If you buy v2 you are downgrading actually read my comment above
