The key reason to why most people are looking towards smart and connected lighting is the new possibilities of control that opens up. What makes any smart lighting system worth investing in is the easy of use, peace of mind, and total control you can access. Having a smart lighting system that opens up several options for control makes the everyday interaction with the system easier and more comfortable.
The smartphone (or tablet) is the most covering and functional of the control options available for Philips Hue. From connecting everything to your Hue Bridge to creating unique and new themes, your phone will act as a central piece of the Hue system. It is also through the phone that you will connect your Hue lights to the different partner product, from speakers to security cameras. Make sure to connect a Hue account to your Hue Bridge to access remote control of your lights when you are away.
The Philips Hue Dim Switch is a simple yet very functional remote that allows you to quickly connect to and control up to 10 different light sources without having a Hue Bridge. Use the "on"-button to change between four different preset temperatures of white light when using a product in the Hue Ambiance and the Hue Color ranges. Dim your lights up and down, and turn them off without having to reach for a normal light switch. The remote is detachable from its plate and completely wireless.
Philips Hue offers compatibility to the three main voice controlled assistants: Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Apple Siri. Connect to the different assistants through your smartphone or tablet and use them to turn your lights on and off, change themes and set the mood for the day. The assistants will recognize the different rooms and zones you have split your lights into, making it very easy to control your lights with precision.
The Philips Hue lighting system has two different motion sensor to aid you in your daily life. One for indoor use and one for outdoor. The indoor motion sensor is a small accessory that you can attach to a wall or just place on a shelf, that can perform certain actions when motion is sensed. Turn light on automatically when entering a room, and then let the motion sensor turn it off for you after a minute. No action from your side needed! The outdoor motion sensor works in a similar fashion but is IP-rated for outdoors use.
The Philips Hue Dim Switch is very flexible when it comes to its positioning, and allows you to choose the perfect spot for installation thanks to its three different installation options. Use the magnets on the back to attach it to any metal surface like a fridge. The two glue strips at the back allow it to stick to any wall or surface, just know that this is a one-time glue that wont function if you remove the plate from its position. Lastly it has two holes in the back where screws can be attached and then drilled into the wall.
The Hue Dim Switch is completely wireless and require no electrical cables to be attached. It is battery driven and after about 3 years of use, the battery can be replaced. No need to throw the remote away!

The Philips Hue Dim Switch is very flexible when it comes to its positioning, and allows you to chose the perfect spot for installation. The backside of the motion sensor consists primarily of a magnetic circle. By mounting the included wall magnet on a wall or other position of choice, you can then freely attach the sensor to it, and either have it aim straight forward or tilting thanks to its design. The most simple way of placing your motion sensor is of course just to put it on a shelf, just make sure to tune the light sensitivity of the sensor so that it suits the area it is positioned in! Darker areas need a higher sensitivity, while areas with more light needs a lower sensitivity. This is to make sure that the motion sensor does not turn on your lights in the middle of the day in areas that are not dark. In rooms with no natural light, putting it on the highest light sensitivity is recommended. You can also in the app tailor the amount of movement that needs to be sensed before the sensor activates your lights.

The outdoor motion sensor is by itself water proof, and can easily just be placed anywhere from on the ground inside a bush, to on the windowsill inside aiming outwards towards your porch.

When the mouns is placed, just click the motion sensor on to it.

The Hue Dim Switch is a simple and versatile accessory to your Philips Hue system that allows you to turn your lights on and off, as well as dim your lights up and down. The remote is attachable from the base, and can be carried around for ease of use and access. Install your Hue Dim Switch like this:
(If the LED is not blinking orange, you need to do a hard reset of the remote. You do this by finding the small hole at the back with the text "Setup" underneath and then pressing down the button at the bottom with a thin object like a needle or a pen. Wait for about 5-10 seconds until you see the LED on the frontside of the product shine with a steady green light. Now you can release the object pressing down the "Setup button" and you will now see the LED blinking orange. You can now continue with the connection.)
The Philips Hue indoor Motion Sensor is a fantastic tool to increase your smart lightings flexibility and usability in areas where you don't always want to reach out for a switch (like a bathroom during night) or spaces that are very dark and therefore hard to navigate (like a garage or basement).

The Hue Smart Plug allows any user to easily add a non-connected luminaire to their Hue eco-system as long as it is connected to power through a normal socket. The Hue Plug is inserted into the power socket and then the light is connected to the plug. Follow these steps to get started with your Hue Plug:
The key idea behind the design of the Hue Dim Switch is the possibility to create a fixed positioning point where the plate is placed, but still having the option to move the remote around and use it wirelessly. This creates the feeling that you have a normal set switch, but whenever you want to, pick up the switch and use it from the sofa or by the kitchen counter when cooking food.
When waking up during the night, the last thing you want is to be blinded by a strong and bright white light when going to the kitchen or bathroom. Place the Hue Motion Sensor in a hallway, the kitchen, or the bathroom. Then adjust the settings to turn on a very dim, warm yellow when motion is sensed during the night. This gives you just enough light to navigate through your house, without risking that anything jolts you awake.
Some places in the house do not need to be lit constantly, like hallways or garages. If just passing by, or maybe jumping in to grab something, the Hue Motion Sensor can quickly turn on the light for the selected amount of time, and then automatically turn it off for you again. No need to reach for a switch or remote, just leave the room and the system takes care of itself.
When coming home late at night, you might want to be welcomed by something more than a dark garden and a house with no lights on. The Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor can be placed outside, near a pathway or driveway, and turn on all the lights when you arrive home. It is a new type of welcoming that creates a warm feeling. No more walking through the dark greenery.
When you and the family is sound asleep, there might be people lurking around your home checking if it is occupied. This is a fact many live with. The Hue smart lighting system in combination with the Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor can aid you in this matter. By turning all the lights on when someone unwanted is detected in your yard, all interest in your home is deterred. This also acts as a great warning signal for you.
