Philips Hue Wall Switch Module

Features and specifications in this description are as the brand describes them.

Overview

The Philips Hue Wall Switch Module is a smart accessory designed to be installed behind existing light switches. It keeps Hue lamps permanently powered so they remain accessible for smart control, while allowing the physical switch to continue operating. The module is listed as compatible with all Philips Hue lamps and requires a separately available Hue Bridge for full functionality.

The brand says installation involves fitting the compact module behind most traditional wall switches, with cables and a plug-in terminal included in the package. Once connected, the switch can be used to trigger multiple light scenes for individual lamps, rooms or zones, providing control for household members who may not have access to the Hue app.
