2-Pack Lutron Aurora Smart Bulb Dimmer Switch for Home Lighting Control

FF: This product is fantastic for toggling and dimming smart lights in a single room. It is light enough to be stuck anywhere with a double-sided adhesive.

It used to be much more competitively priced, however.

Now that you can buy what many would consider a direct upgrade from it, the official Philips Hue Tap Dial Switch, at a cheaper price point, you are better off purchasing that instead.

Bryn: This is a great little on/off dimmer swith for Philips Hue lights. Integrates seemlessly.

JaeJae: As I rent a studio, it is a bit difficult to change the wirings in the apartment. This product (combined with Philips hue bulbs) has provided a nice dimmable light solution for a bathroom! It was effortless to install, and the base is mounted firmly, while I originally had a little doubt about it. I love the product.

I wish that the product had a time-dependent feature for the on/off switch so that one can set a dimmed light on during the night.

Mark TurbishMark Turbish: I was so sick of asking Google to turn my hue lights off and on. Half the time Google wouldn't understand me and I'd be left in the DARK! And the time I took to take out my cell phone to flip on my lights using the Hue app really was not convenient at all! This is the perfect solution! So easy to install, it just sets up using the Hue App and fits right over my existing light switch! One click of a button now turns on all my lights! You can set up what scene or brightness you want your hue lights to go to when you press the button using the app as well! I have 7 lights in my room so the default setting was too bright, luckily you are able to adjust the baseline brightness. The dial lights up with a little LED light and runs on battery power so you do not have to plug it in anywhere. SO impressed! Great product! The dial is instant with touch to adjust brightness as you please.

Fateh KhalsaFateh Khalsa: Works great! It does what it’s supposed to, and (like any well designed products should) it “just works”. Setup is honestly so easy, that after spending $50 on the thing, it feels kind of weird to spend less than 5 minutes doing things with it, and then just be done. It just sits there - but it works when you need it, and it solves the forever annoying problem of having people flip the switches the wrong way!

I put one in my guest bedroom, as there are three separate lamps controlled by the group in there, and people staying over inevitably mess with them all. After liking the simplicity of it, I decided to add one to our main bedroom as well, as it’s nice to just not have to say “Alexa, turn on the lights” sometimes! Sometimes you’re closer to the switch, or one person is already asleep and you don’t want to wake them to add a little light (the rotate to turn on slightly dim feature is really nice) - and sometimes when you’re, er, spending “private time”, it’s nice to be able to dim the lights down low without having to shout at Alexa to do it, and kill the mood ;)

Setup literally does take just five minutes - you screw the...

Bradley LloydBradley Lloyd: I love home kit including smart lights but the insanely frustrating problem is people (mostly guests and even my own kids) flip my Philips hue switches off leaving them unresponsive. I’ve been looking for a solution for a long time and have finally found it. Yes, $50 is steep but worth every penny. Easy to install, works effortlessly and looks nice. No scenes but you can select a different default scene (like “last on” or “energize” and others). I did have to replace my decora switch with a toggle which wasn’t ideal but a small price to pay. I also had to spend $20 on a new wall plate that fit 1 toggle and 2 decora. Lutron apparently makes a decora insert but good luck finding this product anywhere. Anyways, totally recommend. I have 7 more switches that control hue lights that I will be replacing with the Aurora.

Zero: La instalación es muy sencilla y agregarlos al bridge Hue fue muy fácil. Tienen un botón central que prende y apaga la luz y la perilla baja y sube la intensidad de la luz. El botón central se siente frágil, no se presiona parejo. Si lo presionas de arriba, solamente esa parte se presiona y el resto se inclina y pareciera que se va a romper o a salir. Le pondría 4.5 estrellas si se pudiera.

Run4Fun: The Lutron Aurora was very easy to install and works exactly as it should. It appears to be good quality and feels durable. I love the fact that is solves the problem of folks using the original, wired switch to power the lights on/off.

The dimmer works well; making adjustments based on amount of rotation, not position. Therefore it can be configured (using Hue Dynamic in my case) to be more or less sensitive. I set mine for 20% increments. Hue Dynamic supports a handful of other functions such as flash if you want those features.

I am using the Aurora in tandem with a Hue four button remote. I have that one set for normal on/off, delay off, ambiance selection, and dimming. The two controls work together just fine. The Aurora is at the door and the four button remote is at the bed.

The price may seem high, but Lutron has built a quality device and I am happy to pay the price rather than have junk. After all, this is more hobby than simple practicality.
