As nice as it is to control your lights with your phone, or even with your voice, sometimes an old fashioned light switch still presents the path or least resistance. Luckily, Philips makes one for its Hue bulbs; you just stick it to your wall (no wiring required), program it to control up to 10 lights, and hit the buttons to turn your bulbs on or off, or even dim them.
Today on Amazon, you can get the switch and a Hue White bulb for $30, or $5 less than usual. Just note that you’ll need a Hue Bridge for this to work, it’s not a starter kit on its own.
