• Smart lights are becoming more and more popular day by day. Philips Hue is
amongst the top names in the list of best smart lights. Well, while you can control
Philips Hue lights with phone apps, many people find it quite a hassle. To make
things easier, you can try investing in the Hue Dimmer Switch. It is a compact
remote that works wirelessly can also get attached magnetically to the given cradle.
• With this wireless remote, you can control your smart bulbs while lounging on the
couch or laying in the bed. If your phone is switched off or you are watching a
movie on it and do not want to open the Philips Hue app, then you just have to
press the remote buttons. With the remote, you can adjust the brightness and
shade of the smart bulb. You can also power them on or off. Well, if you have
recently purchased or have been gifted the dimmer switch, then go through the
process mentioned below to find out how to install and set it up.

• Unbox the package and take the remote out.
• After that, select where you wish to place the remote. You can place it near your bed,
couch, or anywhere you want.
• After deciding the place, you need to select whether you wish to install the remote
permanently or you wish to make it removable. Since the remote comes with potent glue
on its rear, it can be mounted to any wall directly. Or else, just install the base of the
remote, and the remote will get attached to it.
• If you have decided to install the remote directly, then just take out the cover from the
glue strips on the rear and stick it to the wall. Ensure that it is appropriately set.
• If you wish to make the remote portable, then you need to screw the base to the wall.
• After that, tug the small tab from the remote to power it on.

and then long press the On switch until the light switches to emerald color.
