Looks great, works well - but needs some extra hardware to mount securely
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2019
Great concept, and I would recommend buying it.Fits over your existing toggle-style wall switch,and gives you a place to mount your new Philips Hue remote control.Why not just use the plate that Philips includes?That plate mounts flat to the wall - next to a light switch.This one covers up an existing light switch - which is ideal*if* that light switch happens to control the fixture(s) thatyour Philips Hue light bulbs are installed in.There is an opening in the adapter plate, so you can still get atthe old light switch, if you need to.So. . . why only a 3-star review?Two things -The magnet that holds your remote in place is not quite strong enough.It needs to be more robust, or perhaps slightly larger.Yes the remote stays in place, but tends to lean forward,which you might be able to discern in the attached picture.More importantly - If you install this plate using the hardware provided,you'll quickly notice that the whole adapter plate moves around.It won't stay straight, and is easily knocked off kilter.This is because the adapter plate desperately needssome spacers around the screw holes to stabilize it.Further, the included screws are nylon, and are VERY flexible.Most people will not be able to securely mount this unit as-is.Two things I recommend, if you want a secure installation -1.) Pick up two new screws from the hardware store. #6-32 tapered (oval) head machine screws, exactly an inch-and-a-quarter long.2.) Pick up two nylon spacers. Ideally 7/16" tall x 3/8" outside diameter, x 1/8" inside diameter. (You may have to get a 1/2" tall spacer, and carefully cut it down to 7/16" with a razor.)Take out the existing cover plate screws.Put the new machine screws through the adapter plate, and the spacers on the back side.Position the adapter plate over the old switch, and tighten it down.

V2 Toggle is cheap
By Some Guy on June 11, 2022
I've owned the V1 rocker style plates and they worked I guess, but I was always disappointed by how weak the magnet was, and I would frequently knock the dimmer off the adapter plate while trying to press a button in the dark. Since then i've moved to a place with toggle style switches, and replaced all my V1 dimmers with V2 dimmers. With the V2 dimmers, the magnet is in the dimmer, so you would think this would have fixed the problem, but no. Now that it is even cheaper to manufacture these adapters, needing just a steel plate rather than an expensive magnet, SAMOTECH cheaped out even more and used the thinnest piece of sheet metal they could find, so the dimmer is knocked off just as easily if not more so than the V1 rocker. You would think for a $8 adapter they could have used $0.05 more steel, but I guess that was too much to ask. They look to be smaller that the slugs you knock out of electrical junction boxes, so I'll probably just buy a few to harvest the slugs and glue them in, but I really shouldnt have to for what i'm paying for these things.By Some Guy on June 11, 2022

Fits over your existing toggle-style wall switch,
and gives you a place to mount your new Philips Hue remote control.
Why not just use the plate that Philips includes?
That plate mounts flat to the wall - next to a light switch.
This one covers up an existing light switch - which is ideal
*if* that light switch happens to control the fixture(s) that
your Philips Hue light bulbs are installed in.
There is an opening in the adapter plate, so you can still get at
the old light switch, if you need to.
So. . . why only a 3-star review?
Two things -
The magnet that holds your remote in place is not quite strong enough.
It needs to be more robust, or perhaps slightly larger.
Yes the remote stays in place, but tends to lean forward,
which you might be able to discern in the attached picture.
More importantly - If you install this plate using the hardware provided,
you'll quickly notice that the whole adapter plate moves around.
It won't stay straight, and is easily knocked off kilter.
This is because the adapter plate desperately needs
some spacers around the screw holes to stabilize it.
Further, the included screws are nylon, and are VERY flexible.
Most people will not be able to securely mount this unit as-is.

1.) Pick up two new screws from the hardware store.

Take out the existing cover plate screws.

Misaligned magnets! Don't buy the rocker switch plate model.
