To the untrained eye, it would be hard to notice a difference in the shade of white between the button and the plate itself, but there is a minute difference nonetheless, with the button having a slightly more creamy white hue, with the plate being a more sheer white. The material used for the button is, out of necessity, some kind of latex or rubber, which has a matt look and slightly velvety touch to it, which would also probably suffer from dirt from finger presses over time, but unlike a button made of PVC, which is generally easy to wipe, I’m not sure this material would be as easy to clean. The front of the Smart Button has a debossed(?) Hue logo and not a lot else, which is fine by me, although I can easily see dirt building up inside the letterpressed logo over time. the button is designed to withstand up to 50,000 presses.The button uses a CR2032 coin battery (incorrectly states CR2450 on the packaging).The rear of the box has the usual info you might expect of any electronic product and also has a little information on the basic features, including
#PHILIPS HUE SMART SWITCH BLUETOOTH#
It’s important to note that whilst many new and updated Hue products now include Bluetooth in addition to ZigBee, this isn’t the case with the particular product, so if you were planning on buying this to work with any recently acquired Hue bulbs with just Bluetooth usage in mind, this switch will not work with them, at least not until you add the bulbs to a 2nd gen Hue Bridge, at which point, the Bluetooth part of the bulbs stops and they begin using ZigBee (yes, it sounds complicated…). The side of the box has more of the same but with the addition of the ZigBee logo. The front simply has the Smart Button, along with the wallplate, on the front. So with the box here, if you’ve seen any other Hue packaging previously, you’ll immediately recognise the styling here. In terms of packaging and presentation, there’s not a lot to say other than Hue definitely have their own style, and are always keen to keep brand continuity at the forefront.
