Philips Hue wall switch module

The Hue wall switch module can be configured to different modes of operation, depending on your needs. For example, you can set it to trigger different scenes based on the current time of the day, cycle through your favourite scenes on repeated presses, turn on always the same scene, turn some or all lights in your setup off or even start/stop automations. You can configure these via the Hue app.

A Hue wall switch module can control up to two Rooms, a Zone or even your entire smart lighting setup. It's up to you! If you prefer to control only a subset of lights within a Room, we recommend first creating a Zone out of them, to get the most flexibility in terms of creating and selecting scenes for them.

The Hue wall switch module is designed to fit in the electrical box behind your wall switches. Make sure that these locations are within range of your setup

In case you want to restore the default configuration of the Hue wall switch module, or if trying to remove undesired behaviours, navigate to the edit screen of your device and tap on the Reset button. If issues persist, consider deleting the switch from the Hue app and resetting the device physically by pressing the setup button for more than 10 seconds and then re-adding it via the Hue app.

Although the Hue wall switch module runs on batteries, you will need to disconnect the existing wires feeding into your existing wall switches and then connecting them together with the provided wire nut when installing this device.

You can add a Hue wall switch module to your setup by going to the Hue App > Settings > Devices and tapping on the + button

Your Hue wall switch module can be connected and configured to control either rocker or push switches. Rocker switches are those that when pressed they shift position and remain like that. Push switches are those that where after releasing they return back to their previous position. Additionally, your Hue wall switch module supports single or dual buttons per switch. You can configure this via the Hue app when adding the Hue wall switch module to your setup
