Philips Hue lights. Previously the Hue Tap was only available in Europe, which makes sense as Philips is a Dutch company. The switch has no batteries and is powered through kinetics simply by pushing the buttons. Yep, buttons — there are four three smaller round affairs and one big button that comprises most of the face.</p> <!--break--> <p>Those buttons are all programmable and can be hooked up to any "scene" (a combination of specific lights, colors, brightnesses) from within the <a href="
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/philips-hue/id557206189?mt=8&at=10l3Vy&ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Hue App[/url] on your iPhone or iPad. Tapping a button once will turn on that scene, and again turns it off.</p> <p>The Hue Tap is mountable, or it can be moved about freely. For the mounting a wall bracket and mounting tape are included in the box. Of course, you'll still need a Philips Hue bridge and Hue lights to really
take advantage of the Hue Tap (<a href="
