Classic Switch Cover for Philips Hue Dimmer V1, Compatible with Hue Switch Cover, Remote Light Switch Plate Adapter, 2-Gang (2-Pack)

Top product and high quality, it took only a min to fit.Holds the dimmer switch nicely. I was worried that the magnetic connection would be weak and the dimmer switch constantly falling off/about.I will now be fitting the original philips switch mold on the other side of the Living room so whichever way I leave the room there'll be a remote base/hub.

We had the remote free with a pair of coloured bulbs a while ago and never used it. When we installed Hue bulbs in the Hall, stairs & landing the switches upstairs and especially by the front door would frequently be pressed in error. Installing this and using the remote now allows for anyone forgetting to ask Alexa (Echo Flex in the Hall) to just press on/off or dim the lights.I wouldn’t have bought a remote or button to do this, but as we had one anyway it seemed a reasonable solution at not much cost.It makes the switch seem much larger, but it was easy to install and unlike some I looked at which sat perched on top of the old switch, this completely covers it so looks more professional.

Got these today. Installation was a breeze. Probably takes about 5 mins per switch. It is the best solution i have seen so far that doesn't involve having 2 switches side by side. Since you cant really remove the old switch as you need them if you need to reboot the connection, this hides the original switch under the Philips one.Quality is acceptable. Price is a bit expensive to be honest as you can buy a good quality 1gang switch for about £3. This only has plastic an a couple of magnets but cost around 7.

Told the kids not to use the bathroom main switch as we have a Hue lamp in the room, which is also on a motion detector so it will light up when they come in and switch off when they leave, but as we've always told them turn off lights behind themselves, it's 2nd nature to them now, and switching that off would render the Hue unreachable.Now it can be permanently fed power, and controlled with a Hue Dimmer, and looks a whole lot better than having the original supplied hue base stuck next to the master switch!Very easy to fit, original switch is stuck to the wall by paint, so when I took out the screws is remained in its place.Popped the spacing washers on as stated in the instructions, screwed it all back and popped the cover over for a smart place to hold the Hue Dimmer.Only took 5 mins tops.

These switch covers are a great idea. Once installed they look great and stop the accidental turning off of the hue light at the main switch.However there is a significant design flaw:Having followed the instructions exactly, including using the supplied washers as described, I tried to remove the cover in order to tighten up the switch screws a little more. Unfortunately the cover is impossible to take off again. Despite best efforts I haven’t found any way to remove the cover. The issue is there’s no way to release the plastic tabs without damaging the wall and/or the switch cover itself. I’ve left it for now, but when it does eventually need to be removed I’ll have to cut it off so as avoid damaging the original switch and the wall.It’s disappointing as it wouldn’t take much of a design change to avoid this issue completely.

I have ordered a product similar to this before but found this one is so much better quality and fits round the plug a lot better! I will slowly change the sockets over to these throughout my house to go with my Philips hue switches.

These look really good, they solve an issue with people turning off lights, however, the manufacturer says you can remove these easily, you can’t. Once you’ve clipped it in you aren’t getting it off without breaking it. I’ve tried everything and followed the manufactures instructions about washers and where to press to pop it off but no luck at all. Avoid if you want to be able to move it or take it off.

Was really impressed with how easy this was to install and means that the light switch can't be used by guests who think they need to turn the light off.
