Continued thread

In the range of more affordable, Hue has also gotten slightly better but still has a ways to go. They have a single-press button for $30 now that is probably the cheapest option for a simple control I’ve seen (apart from IKEA). And a multi-button control is now $50.

I remember when Hue’s controls were all over $60, and it was so hard to justify it. Still not easy, but they’re making progress.

I am sad to see Hue ended their battery-free tap switch though. That was the coolest innovation, the act of pressing in the button generated enough power to send the signal and that was it. It didn’t need to be plugged in or recharged, it was so elegant. I’ve still got a few left in working order (they do eventually degrade) and love them.
