Do you enjoy the possibilities of a smart home? If you have smart lighting at home, but it is connected to conventional power lines with a standard switch, you will probably be very familiar with the following situation. The light is really very clever and you can do all sorts of magic with it. But it all ends when you, or worse, someone else at the other end of the room, it clicks. At that point, you’re very likely “loaded” and all you have to do is go to switch again. Pretty annoying, huh? The new Philips Hue module, which can turn an ordinary switch into a smart one, can solve this whole problem.

The unit is designed so that it hides in the electrical installation behind the existing classic switch. From there, she is capable receive instructions from a mobile application or voice assistant, no matter what position the cradle or button is in front of it. The new Philips Hue switch module is not mains powered, but it is powered by batteries. It should last in it for at least five years.
