Busch-Jaeger

About the vendor and its products

Busch-Jaeger is a large manufacturer of electrical components, but the reason for being included in my pages is that it offers a smart switch as part of a system called “Friends of Hue”. This is an arrangement where switches from other manufacturers than Philips Hue itself can be used with Hue light sources. Since “Friends of Hue” switches are wireless, switches of both European and American design can be used globally.

The specific switch from Busch-Jaeger is called “Friends of Hue” smart switch, requires no batteries, and comes in a large variety of colors, both the switch itself and he frame.

As far as I understand how “Friends of Hue” works, these switches can be configured in the Hue appen if it is to control only Hue lights, but they are also compatible with Apple Home and thus control other Apple Home-compatible devices.
