Installed behind light switches, the Philips Hue wall switch module lets you use existing switches with your Philips Hue smart lights.
The Philips Hue Wall switch module is a battery driven Hue accessory that is installed behind your existing wall switch, made for your entire Hue-ecosystem. Connect it to a Philips Hue Bridge, configure it through the Hue app and then control all your different light sources and luminaires. The module allows your Hue lights to stay powered even though you flip your wall switch off. This so that you always have connection to your Hue lights. You can also switch between different scenes by turning the lights off and then on again straight away, giving you an easy way of tailoring your lights to your moments using your existing wall switch.
Installation The Philips Hue Wall switch allows your Hue luminaires and bulbs to retain connected even when the primary wall switch connected to those lights in switch to its off-position. This so that you always can reach your lights through your phone or any Hue accessory. Through the Hue app you will also be able to create settings that allow you to scroll through scenes in a room by simply turning your lights on and off again using the wall switch. The Philips Hue Wall switch module only works with your existing Hue-ecosystem, and does not allow for wireless control of non-connected luminaries or connected luminaires that are not part of the Hue system. We always recommend contacting an authorized electrician for advice and guidance on installing the Philips Hue Wall switch module

Battery powered The Philips Hue Wall switch uses battery to power its main function and is not powered by the main electricity of the home. This battery has a lifespan of about 4-5 years depending on usage. When changing batteries, make sure to always turn of the main electricity to the relevant part of your home, for your own safety.
ZigBee Philips Hue is a connected lighting system that uses the protocol Zigbee to send signals and communicate with the different light points and accessories installed. This protocol allows for a mesh-network of lights to be built, so that the bulbs and luminaires you have connected can communicate with each other and extend each others range, effectively increasing both signal speed and signal range.
Hue Bridge A Hue Bridge is needed to connect and use the Philips Hue Wall switch module. The module does not support connection or control through Hue Bluetooth.
