ActiveHue Wall Switch Module
Philips Hue Wall Switch Module — converts any dumb switch to smart.
Common Applications
Mounts behind an existing wall switch. Keeps constant power to Hue bulbs while making the existing physical switch a smart trigger. Solves the biggest Hue problem: family members turning off the wall switch and killing the smart bulbs. Zigbee connected to Hue Bridge.
Openness & Hackability
