I have a set of Philips Hue lights that I got for Christmas last year that can light up my living room and foyer with white light or with colored lights β whatever I choose. Β I can define light βrecipesβ where I can make each Hue bulb whatever color I want so set the mood for relaxation, reading, or energizing myself. Β I can control the lights over the internet to turn on/off at my command, use geofencing to turn them on when I come home at night, or control them with timers. Β My daughter doesnβt have the app on her iPhone, so she canβt control the lights at all (because she doesnβt want to add the appβ¦). Β Visitors also canβt turnΒ the lights on or off, either. Β Philips has introduced the Hue Tap, which they say is the worldβs first wireless smart switch. Β The Tap has four buttons that are used to control the Hue system by turning on a light recipe or selecting a favorite color scene or simply turning off some of the lights. Β You can mount the Tap on the wall by a door, leave it on the coffee table, or carry it with you throughout the house. Β Philips says the Tap is powered by kinetic energy from your touch, so you donβt need batteries for it. Β Philips has a list of vendors on their Hue site, or you can pick up the Hue Tap at Apple for $59.95.

you literally still have to use the app to set up the switch… but if you aren’t running an apple phone that was brand new (and about $800) within the last 3 years guess what, you can’t run the app.
