Most of my entire house is outfitted with Philips Hue bulbs, including lamps and fixtures. The ideal long-term solution is dedicated Lutron Caséta switches, but if you’re renting and that’s not an option, the Lutron Aurora continues to be my go-to recommendation for buyers in the United States where these flip switches are common. There is also a version for Paddle Switch/Simmer designs now. The Lutron Aurora is also heavily discounted for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, making it an even more enticing version. I do wish they worked beyond Philips Hue accessories, but other than that, I have very few gripes. They now play a crucial role in my smart home implementation. I can also vouch for their long-term reliability.
PHILIPS LIGHTING UPDATE
Update November 29, 2021: Since I initially published this review, I’ve continued to add to my Lutron Aurora setup. The Lutron Aurora dimmer is a simple yet ingenious way to solve this problem. The problem with Philips Hue switches is that whenever a wall light switch is flipped off, the smart lights become unresponsive. Philips Hue bulbs are one of the easiest ways to give your existing light fixtures smart home capabilities, including through Apple’s HomeKit platform.
