Light switches for this system about kelvin HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi gedw99,

Kelvin does not make any assumptions about the light switches at all. This means you can choose any switch you want:

• Classic wall mounted switches of any type
• Smart switches from the Philips Hue System
• Or any compatible Hue app

If I get your questions right the following products might be interesting for you:

http://www2.meethue.com/en-us/p/hue-tap-switch/046677473365

Both are wireless, operate without a battery and work fine with Kelvin.

Hope this helps!?!

First of all: Sonoff does not seem to integrate with Philips Hue at all. So Kelvin won't be able to control these switches or the LED bulb at all!

Aside from this the whole systems seem a good fit if you want to control some dumb lightbulbs via app or smart switch. With Philips Hue the focus is definitely on the lightbulbs and less on the switching side of things.

In the end it depends on your needs and taste I guess...
