Checked against 3 sources on
Ecosystem compatibility
| Platform | Works? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Matter | Unconfirmed | The switch itself has no CSA listing. Hue's Matter page says Hue products work with Matter when connected through the Hue Bridge, except the Tap Dial's dial; that makes it a bridged device at most, not a certified one.[1],[3] |
| Apple Home | Via Philips Hue Bridge | Hue's EU product page marks this switch as HomeKit compatible, in addition to its general third-party list; it reaches Apple Home through the Hue Bridge. The page doesn't say which press actions Apple Home can use.[1] About the Hue Bridge (EU) |
| Google Home | Unconfirmed | Google Home appears only in Hue's brand-wide third-party list. Hue says its products work with Matter through the Bridge, but no Hue or Google page says this switch's presses can trigger Google Home automations. |
| Amazon Alexa | Unconfirmed | Alexa appears only in Hue's brand-wide third-party list. Tech blogs report Hue switches as Alexa routine triggers since 2023, but no Hue or Amazon page confirms it for this switch. |
| SmartThings | Unconfirmed | SmartThings appears only in Hue's brand-wide third-party list. Only community posts discuss Hue switches in SmartThings; no Hue or Samsung page confirms this switch's presses reach it. |
| Home Assistant | Via Philips Hue Bridge | Home Assistant's Hue integration supports Hue remotes and switches through the Bridge as device triggers for automations (it names the Dimmer Switch), with local push on V2 bridges.[2] About the Hue Bridge (EU) |
“Via Matter” means you add it with that platform's Matter controller instead of a brand skill or app. “Unconfirmed” means we couldn't find an official source either way. How we verify.
