Should you buy the Philips Hue Smart Dimmer Switch with remote?

Best Answer: Yes, you absolutely should, especially if you are already invested in the Philips Hue ecosystem. With the Smart Dimmer Switch, you'll be able to control your Philips Hue smart lights from anywhere in the house, including from bed or the couch. It not only adjusts the intensity of your lights, but you can even cycle through four different light recipes with the on-button, so your favorite mood lighting is activated with a push of a button. The Smart Dimmer Switch works with up to 50 lights if you have the Philips Hue Bridge or 10 lights without it.

We found the following on Amazon:

Philips Hue Smart Dimmer Switch with Remote ($20)

Philips Hue Bridge ($47)

Philips Hue White A19 60W Smart Bulb 4-pack ($40)

Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Smart Bulb ($40)
Can I use the Smart Dimmer Switch without the Philips Hue Bridge Hub?

As a matter of fact, you can. Even though the Bridge is what you want to get the most out of your Philips Hue smart lights, it's not necessary...
