Philips Hue switches, sensors and plug

Which Philips Hue switches, sensors and plug should I buy?

Hue's controls and sensors are the Dimmer Switch, Tap Dial Switch, Tap Switch Mini, Smart Button, Motion Sensor, Outdoor Sensor and Smart Plug, with wired wall modules. The Dimmer Switch, Tap Dial Switch, Tap Switch Mini, Smart Button, Motion Sensor and Outdoor Sensor need a Hue Bridge.

The Smart Plug works over Bluetooth on its own and adds more features with a Bridge. Hue's wired dimmer and on/off modules go behind an existing wall switch and list a Bridge as optional.

Lines compared

The remotes differ by controls and mount. The Dimmer Switch has dedicated dimming buttons. The Tap Dial Switch and Tap Switch Mini dim by turning a dial, and their buttons each control up to three Rooms or a Zone. The Smart Button is one larger button that dims by press and hold.[1–4]

The Tap Switch Mini is sold as a Tap dial switch with a small round mount. It goes on a wall or a magnetic surface, or works as a remote. The Tap Dial Switch has the rectangular wall plate.[2][3][5]

Wall modules go behind an existing switch. The wall switch module and the wired wall switch module for smart lights keep Hue lights powered and let the old switch control them. The wired dimmer and on/off switches are for non-smart lights.[6–9]

  • Each remote and sensor on this page lists a Hue Bridge as required. The Smart Plug and the wired switches for non-smart lights list one as optional.[1][8][10][11]
  • Hue says the dial on the Tap Dial Switch does not support Matter, and that products connected over Bluetooth cannot be used with Matter.[12]
  • The wired modules need a neutral wire in the wall box, except the wired dimmer, which Hue lists as working with or without one.[7–9]
