Important purchase and installation tips
Before purchase
- Examine how your light switch is installed to determine if the Hue wall switch
module will work and function properly with the type of your light switch.
Attention! Always make sure your circuit breaker is off before removing the light switch
plate.
- Determine if there is enough room in your electrical box to install the Hue wall switch
module. The Hue wall switch module measures 4.3 cm x 1 cm x 3.7 cm
(width x depth x height)
- Watch tutorial videos and/or read documentation of the light switch from the
manufacturer to determine if your light switch is suitable.
* Requires Hue bridge and only compatible with Hue light sources
* The product is battery powered and does not need a neutral wire to be available
Before installation
Attention! Electrical devices may only be installed and connected by electrically skilled
persons.
- For safe installation, commissioning and operation, read the installation and legal
guide before use.
- Always switch off the circuit breaker before any assembly, maintenance or
replacement of the battery.
- Ensure no one switches on the circuit breaker during assembly, disassembly, or
replacement of the battery.
- Cover up any live wires.
During installation
- Take a photo of the original light switch’s wiring before removing them. The provided
wires with the Hue wall switch module will generally be inserted into the same
places, while the original wires from your home’s electricity will be terminated with a
wire connector (Europe) or wire nut (United States and Canada)
- Don’t connect your original (live) wires to the wall switch module. The module is
battery powered. Only the provided wiring should be used.
- Complete the installation before pushing the button on the Hue wall switch module
or adding it in the Hue app.
- The Hue wall switch module may start blinking if accidental contact is made (e.g., if
the two included wires touch or if you press the light switch once connected), If this
happens, it’s safe to continue with the physical installation. After finishing the
installation, set up the Hue wall switch module in the Hue app.
After installation
- Even a lamp that is switched off is permanently supplied with mains voltage. When
replacing a light source, turn off the circuit breaker.
- Before any maintenance on your light switch, for example changing the battery of
the module, make sure to turn off the circuit breaker.
Attention! Consult an electrician for support when in doubt. 3

Rocker switch variants
• A rocker light switch typically has two positions, On and Off and works like a seesaw.
• We support 1 gang and 2 gang rocker switches per wall switch module.
• There are many of variances of light switches and the module works with most common
switch types with the following exceptions:
- We don’t recommend to use the module with switches that combine power outlets
and light switches.
- The module doesn’t work in combination with dimmers and dimming modules.
• Find below commonly found switches and where to connect the provided yellow and
white cables.
• When in doubt if your switch is suitable for installation, contact an electrician for
support.
