This palm-sized, affordable gadget managed to completely "revolutionize" our Homes Editor's lighting setup. The idea is simple: it can be used to turn
your smart bulbs on and off, dim or brighten them, and even scroll through scenes.

In essence, it means anyone can control your smart lights whether or not they're connected to the Philips Hue app. It's ideal for visitors, technophobes, or anyone who's looking to cut down on screen time. For extra versatility, the switch can be mounted to a wall or used as a handheld
remote. The buttons are customizable, and the settings can be tweaked according to the time of day, too. For instance, you could set it up so that the lights turn on to full intensity during the day, but at a lower
brightness level in the evening or first thing in the morning.
