Current guidance
Philips Hue bulb generations and color capabilities vary. Current Hue includes bridge-based Matter integrations and some newer bulbs with direct Matter connectivity; those features cannot be assumed on the legacy bulb shown here. A wireless Hue dimmer is a battery-powered control, not a mains-powered wall dimmer or a general load switch. Confirm the bulb, bridge and control generation before mixing products.

The Phillips Hue Dimmer Switch provides physical buttons for interacting with your Hue lights. The switch can be used to cycle through scenes, activate, deactivate, dim or brighten your lights. Lights can be grouped and the switch can be tied to a group in order to control an entire room or area’s lighting.
