ZIGBEE SMART SWITCHES SUCK! (except this one) - Philips Hue Smart Dimmer Switch V2

Hue Dimmer Switch V2 on Amazon (affiliate):
I’ve been using these Moes Zigbee switches for over a year now, and they’ve been nothing but a frustrating, intolerable mess the whole time. This is just some of the batteries that just two of these things have burned through in a matter of months, and that’s ignoring their constant lack of connectivity. You’d press the button, the light would flash, but nothing would happen. You’d have to hit it again, only to then find out they were just taking their sweet time and the light it controls would turn on then off, so you’ll need to press it again. It. Was. Infuriating. So I put my foot down and said NO MORE!

That’s where these come in, these are the Philips Hue Smart Dimmer Switch V2, and they are a very, very welcomed improvement. Before I get too far into these, it’s worth covering what the hell it is I’m even talking about. This is part of my smart home series, so if you haven’t seen the other videos I’d highly recommend watching through the playlist and coming back to this one as there’s a fair bit of terminology and jargon I’ll be using that is explained earlier in the series. With that said, let’s jump into this!
