Philips Hue Dimmer Switch V2 Which App is Best, Hue or Hue Essentials?

The Philips Hue Dimmer Switch V2 is a Dimmer Switch to control your Philips Hue light bulbs but the Philips App App has some big restrictions especially on the bottom Hue button but the Hue Essentials app lets you configure every button, in this video i show you how to setup & how to configure each button & the restrictions.

Did you ever get round to making the video you mentioned (setting it up in HA) ?

Is this work with the old hue bridge?

I have not tried it but I would say yes there is absolutely no reason why it shouldn’t. I’m not sure which hub I have but have that dimmer switch and another round one with 4 buttons and turn the dimmer ring on the edge. Everything works amazing.
