I saw that the Hue wireless dimmer switch is - like - =C2=A340 on its own
b=
ut the dimmer switch and bulb is =C2=A330 so ordered one ... I suspect
I'll=
probably need another four or five for beside doors though.

I've been looking for golf-ball sized bulbs but it doesn't look like
Philip=
s do them so it looks like I'll have to look outside the Hue range and
hope=
that Philips don't go and disable support for third party bulbs again. :-)

It'll be interesting to see how it works - then maybe add a SmartThings
hub=
to do appliance control.
