Description
The SM200 adapter is designed to solve the common problem in many smart homes. Most smart bulbs will simply stop working if the main light switch is off as the smart light bulbs require power to operate. SM200 adapter covers the main switch and prevents an accidental switch off while keeping your Philips Hue setup fully functional. The installation is very easy and requires just a screwdriver.
MATERIAL:
ABS plastic
COMPATIBILITY:
Philips Hue Wireless Dimmer
Standard UK light switches up to 92x92x9mm switch plate size, 60mm distance between screw holes and up to 4mm rocker height. Please refer to the pictures in the description for compatibility details to avoid any disappointment with your purchase.
ENHANCED DESIGN:
▫️ Distance between the screw holes is now fixed
▫️ 1.5mm deeper than the previous version
▫️ No manufacturing marks
▫️ Edges enhancement
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Unscrew the two retaining screws on the light switch
2. Attach the adapter on top of the light switch and screw both back into the wall using supplied screws
3. Remove the insert from the Philips Hue flush mount and snap fit the mount to the adapter
OPTIONAL:
???? Four corners inside the adapter are designed to help lining up the most standard UK 86x86mm light switch. To fit larger light switches (e.g. 87x87mm, 92x92mm), the corners must be snapped off (please see the installation video).
???? In a rare situation where attaching the Philips faceplate interferes with the light switch’s rocker, please turn the light switch upside down. Turning the switch changes the rocker’s ON/OFF position to avoid contact with magnets on the Philips faceplate. The issue may only exist if a light switch or its rocker is bigger than the suggested compatible size (see the compatibility section above).
PACKAGE CONTAINS:
Samotech SM200 UK Light Switch Adapter
Two electrical screws

Allows your Philip’s hue switch to be mounted over an existing light switch which is handy, shame Philip’s dont make them a size which is more compatible with uk light switches rather than long and thin but that is not this products fault…Using this is easy, simply screws on top through the switch meaning that you can leave your lights on and use the hue dimmer to do the rest, tidy.

i dont really love the way this looks however its the best looking compared to the other ones ive seen. works perfectly tho and is easy enough to use.

Does exactly what it says, covers the existing light switch nicely. The only issue is that the mounting screws are very short which made installing the cover fiddly but not impossible.

Passt perfekt,Musste bei mir jedoch kleine L?cher in den Schalter bohren und mit Blech/Holzschraube befestigen. Dieses ist aber nur wegen der Steckdose darunter n?tig gewesen.Bei der Philips Fernbedienung nur noch kurz die R?ckwand entfernen und schon passt es perfekt in diesen Halter 🙂

Does exactly what it’s intended to do. It comes with a little screwdriver that sadly is not fit for purpose it just bent and was unusable on first attempt. My screws weren’t in any tighter than youd expect hence losing a star.Comes with longer screws so you simply remove the old ones and replace them with the longer ones through the plate. Be careful not to over tighten as the plate will flex a little but I suspect it could also break if over tightened. There is no reason to over tighten though of course but still worth a mention I feel.

I bought this because my light switch is on a narrow pillar limited by the door frame. As it is the only one on the market that you can cut to fit, bit tedious, but worth it. I’d recommend it for its easy install.
Alex –
Very easy to install, fits perfectly over existing modern standard UK light switches.Love that it’s easily removable should you move, or want to change the style. From start to finish too 60 seconds to install. For those worried about how much depth this adds (projection), i’d say that it’s no deeper than a ‘old fashioned’ dimmer switch.No idea why Philips doesn’t produce this as standard.

Man fragt sich, wieso es Philips nicht gebacken bekommt, die Bohrungen der Befestigungsplatte auf das Ma? von Standard-Unterputzdosen zu bringen. Hierf?r braucht es dann wieder einen Drittanbieter. Die SAMOTECH Abdeckung jedenfalls passt genau mit ihren Bohrungen auf die Unterputzdosen, die Schalter drunter brauchen nicht umgeklemmt zu werden – was will man mehr. Wenn die Abdeckung dann auch noch etwas filigraner w?re w?rde ich noch einen Stern mehr geben.

Harry –
Really like this, works perfectly and pretty easy to install. Looks nice but there is a slight colour difference between the Philips Hue switch holder and the cover faceplate.Not massively noticeable but there is a difference. Pulling the Philips Hue cover from the faceplate is more challenging but can be removed with a little force with a flat head screwdriver at the bottom.
Rob Thompson –
I really like these as a neat solution to the issue of having a Hue switch and the original switch left open and accidentally switched off. As others have mentioned, I did have an issue with a double switch where the magnets on the Hue switch just pushed the original switch enough to turn the lights off. I moved the magnets and all was well. I understand the issue and obviously the manufacturers want to keep the switch as narrow as possible so they aren’t too prominent on the wall. So this is always a possibility and is resolvable. I have not had the same issue on single switches. I now have four of these and I will be buying some more to complete my project.

Worked really well and great idea to still get to the main switch. They do protrude quite a way so are noticeable but less so than having two sets of switches!!!

note this item can be modified to fit slightly larger sockets housings.by cutting out the four lugs in each corner.as my sockets were larger than standard sockets.note you need to separate the backplate from the philips remote switch holder.this allows the philips magnetic backplate to be pushed and connected over the top of new switch housing.Removal of the magnetic plate is easy to remove just place a screwdriver underneath slotto reveal original access to light switches.

Al Sayer –
A very straight forward product that achieves what is required from it. The product arrived head of its expected delivery so that was nice. From there I was able to fit two of the units within a matter of minutes, really -I used my trusty electric screwdriver but the product does come with a handy little screwdriver which I was surprised to see. I used the screws provided as they were cleaner than the existing ones from my switches.The only downside is that they do make the light switch look pretty bulky as they stick out quite far. I am not sure if this is entirely due to the amount of space required to clear the existing switch or if the cover could be a little slimmer. Either way they did the job and allow my Hue dimmers to go where the light switches have always been.

The Samotech offers a solution to the problem of accidentally turning off the switch to the lights and causing a reset of the current settings to default. It is nicely made of a quality plastic and is a good match for the Hue remote. However, the light switch behind the Samotech requires to be the most slimline possible or it will be fouled by the Hue top plate when fitted, resulting in the switch being turned off. Current switch couldn’t fit behind and I needed to purchase a slimline switch from Srewfix to get it to work.

If you don’t need to fiddle with the switch(es) underneath it’s great, however the plastic just holds the holster over the button, so you don’t have access to the buttons anymore. In my case there are some switches that have 3 buttons on for other lights but I can’t use them as a result.how hard would have it been to use it as a replacement to the holster and have magnets on the top and bottom with a hole in the middle for switch access?if they put a hole in the middle, it would have got 5 stars but 4 will have to do

If you’re using Hue for more than just supplemental mood lighting then you’re probably going to want to still be able to use a light switch. And if you want to fit the Hue switch to the wall, as well as stop people using the actual mains light switch, then you’re going to need this. It’s an essential. It’s nicely packaged, but it’s an expensive piece of moulded plastic with a couple of screws that goes over your existing light switch. It does the job just fine but, much like every other Hue component, will leave you with a sneaking suspicion that you’ve just been robbed blind.
JD –
This is a great product, but be aware that you won’t be able to fit it if the switch is too close to a door frame. You can get round this if you carefully cut the plastic with a fine tooth saw.

Good Item but has a flaw. As others have stated the cover has not enough clearance between it and existing light switch, so it turns the switch off underneath. I solved this by threading the 2 retaining screws through a couple of small washers between existing switch and new cover to boost clearance by 1-2 mm.

Ich habe grunds?tzlich lange nach einer L?sung gesucht meinen Vorhandenen Lichtschalter im Esszimmer mit einem Philips Hue Dimmschalter abzudecken, anstatt diesen daneben zu kleben.

Die Abdeckung lies sich wie beschrieben ohne weiteren Aufwand befestigen. An alle die behaupten der Hue Dimmer passt nicht auf diesen Adapter: Wie beschrieben muss die hintere Blende am Hue Dimmer entfernt werden, damit dieser auf die Samotech Blende gedr?ckt werden kann ! Dann passt es wie auch auf den Fotos zu erkennen.

Absolutely ideal product, surprised that Philips haven’t included something similar in their range or with the dimmer switch. Works a treat and fits perfectly over standard switches, just be aware that the screws supplied with it won’t work for you if you’ve got longer electrical screws than standard in the fixing you plan to cover over (in the case of insulated plasterboard wall slabs for example). This cover adds about 15-20mm to the depth your screws will need to travel before they grab your wallbox, so be prepared in advance and order longer screws, or (like me) you’ll have to wait a little longer to get your funky little hue dimmer switch on the wall. Minor oversight, and not a flaw with the product as such, but the manufacturer should add a disclosure to advise people of the extra depth required and that they may need to buy longer screws.

GeeBee –
These switch covers are clunky looking, quite hard to fit and relatively expensive for what they are. However, they’re really the only game in town if you want to hide your light switches with a Hue remote. I had the usual problems with fitting as noted by others — incorrect distance apart of the screw holes, which required application of a small file to broaden them, and inversion required of the existing switch to prevent accidental turnoff of the lights. I didn’t need to resort to installing cheap, lower-profile switches just so I could cover them over. Aesthetically, they remind me of some sort of Mayan pyramid on its side. Perhaps Philips will come up with a more attractive solution, but I doubt it’ll happen (Brexit?) and, even if it did, it’ll probably cost at least twice if not three times as much.

Die Lichschalterabdeckung ist seine sehr gute M?glichkeit, den Philips HUE Dimmer als ‘Ersatz’ f?r vorhandene Lichtschalter zu benutzen. Das Anbringen der Abdeckung ging problemlos f?r meinen vorhandenen Lichtschalter – alte Schalter-Abdeckung ab und die neue Abdeckung angeschraubt. Dann bin ich auf ein Problem gesto?en, welches auch andere K?ufer hatten. Der HUE Dimmer hat nicht auf d?e Abdeckung gepasst. Ich dachte erst – nun gut, dann passt es eben nicht richtig. China Ware eben 🙁 Aber ein K?ufer hat in den Bewertungen den entscheidenden Tipp gegeben. Auf dem Philips HUE Dimmer ist noch ein kleine Plastikplatte drauf. Diese kann man abmachen und kann dann die grosse Platte (die mit dem Philips Schriftzug) auf den Lichtschalter Cover klipsen. Und alles passt wunderbar und sieht schick aus. Und es besteht extra noch die M?glichkeit, bei WLAN-Ausfall die Platte zu entfernen und den bisherigen Schalter manuell zu bedienen. Eine klare Kaufempfehlung!

Really impressed with this. Very well packaged and a very good quality product. A perfect fit for my MK Light Switches. I only bought one as I wanted to be sure it did the job and was ok to use with MK switches. I’d say it has surpassed my expectations so I’ll be buying some more shortly. Installing Philips Hue Dimmer Switches next to existing switches isn’t an option for me as there is nothing to stop anyone from using the old switches and effectively de-activating the Hue Bulbs. Additionally I don’t want the walls cluttered with light switches. This product from Samotech solves the problem. My only criticism would be that they aren’t as white as the MK switches or the . In fact in comparison they look off-white. Not an issue as long as you don’t have any other normal light switches adjacent.

Works great. Colour could match better to the Philips Dimmer Switch. Would be nice to provide some rubber washers to bridge the distance from the adapter to the switch plate when using light switches with a lower profile. The screws provided might also be a bit long for some switch boxes.

Excellent fitting and brilliant way to solve the Philips dimmer problem with standard lights.

The light switch cover is great when it fits. I had to change my light switch because there was not enough clearance between the cover and the switches. Instructions say 13mm clearance but in truth there was only 11.65mm.

Really good product, excellent bit of kit. Very well finished too. My only complaint is that fitting instructions aren’t supplied. Found them on the website which was perfect. I didn’t realise there was a mount inside the hue switch unit that could come out, but since reading the site I find it fits perfectly and looks great. Very happy with the product

Simple install that looks great!

Great addition to the Hue range as it stops people turning the light switch off then rendering the hue useless. My only complaint is that if the profile of the light switch is a bit bigger than normal when you got the remote control plate it turns the light switch off. Overall great tho.

Great product, works exactly as intended.The only drawback I had was due to my wired switch being raised in the middle I couldn’t sit the cover flush with the wall is this actually pressed the light switch to the off position. Still looks great and does the job though!

Mr K –
Almost perfect. Could be a little deeper though. The Philips frame just nudges the light switch causing it to go off sometimes. Fixed with a blu tac shim to raise it 2mm and works great now.

Neat installation and the idea that philips forgot

Perfect, it fitted over the existing lightswitch no problem whatsoever. It looks really good with the Philips Hue dimmer in place.

I (and many other Hue users) have had issues with the light switches for years. I previously had a 3d printed cover for my light switches, but this wasn’t ideal as it didn’t look very well finished.This product solves all the issues, covering a standard UK plastic light switch and securely holding the Hue remote switch. It will cover up to a 3 gang switch, although if it is a 3 way switch, it would have to be the sort where the switches are right next to each other with no gap, or they would be too wide for this to for over. It comes with some longer screws to replace the existing ones in your switch.Didn’t initially realise that the hue switch comes in two parts- you have to remove the back part of the Hue fitting before it will fit over the light switches. It pops of with a screwdriver. (Photo attached).Once complete, the finished installation is quite big, but it’s by far the best solution available, and one that Philips should have released with the switches from the start. Fitting it takes about 2 minutes and very little effort. This is a simple, but good quality product. I wish the whole set up were available in a chrome finish.

This do a fantastic job – especially when little people with exploring hands or the forgetful elderly relative are about. Stops then switching the lights off by anything but the controller and resolves that issue of two switches next to each other. Would be good if they also did a similar blanking plate to match and perhaps were a bit gentler on the pocket as ?10 a switch is a touch steep.

Looks great and is the best Hue dimmer switch available

Gives a nice neat mounting solution and stops the existing light switch from being turned off. Loses 1 star as the white of the plastic is a different shade to that of the Hue switch.

This is the final perfect solution to the problem of guests turning your hue lights on and off using conventional light switches. After purchasing a hue dimmer switch, this product is a must to stop the old switches being used. Simple enough to install, however I did have a few issues with the old switch being too big so when the dimmer mount went over it, the mount kept turning the conventional switch off. This meant I had to buy a slimmer conventional switch (only ?1.50 from local hardware store) and replace that before installing this product. The screws it came with were not long enough for the fixing in the wall but had longer screws to hand instead.In all it’s a great product to tidy things up.

Really pleased. I was frustrated by having the light switch turn the Hue Bulb off and change the settings. I didn’t want to mount two switches next to each other and this provided the perfect solution. I intend to by more. Just need more configurations!

This is great. It’s the closest, aesthetically pleasing solution that’s ever going to be possible without replacing the original socket. Easy to install. Looks decent enough. Good value. Thanks!

These are very nice and cover light switches really effectively and provide a good place to mount the hue switch, but they are very expensive for a piece of injection moulded plastic that probably cost about 10p to make so I’ve taken one star off. I guess the manufacturers are relying on the fact that anyone willing to pay up to ?50 for a light bulb is probably willing to spend ?10 on a cover for a light switch.

Not as good as the previous ones ordered, not as well finished. Waited for these as I didn’t like the 3D printed versions but these seem to be slightly worse quality.

I purchased 8 x “SM200” to cover all my light switches throughout the house.
This Stops any problem with guest being able to switch off the lights using your original switches unknowingly therefore cutting off the power to the smart bulbs that then stops them from being Smart anymore!
There are just 2 existing light switches in my house I have to currently look to sort out with a similar fix:-
*(1) Being a:
* 1 gang – 2 x Philips Hue Dimmer Switch version (matching the SM200 style and build quality)
**(2) Being a:
2 Gang – 3 (2 is 3 is not possible) x Philips Hue Dimmer Switch version (matching the SM200 style and build quality)
The Quality is very good, a smooth gloss white either the same or possibly ever so slightly whiter than my Philips Hue Dimmer Switches.
I had BG Nexus Brushed Steel, SCREWLESS, Slim light switches fit through my house and although I could have just removed the metal plate covers so I could then SCREW these on top and through my existing switches I personally preferred to buy and fit from a pack of 10 x White Crabtree (2-Way) light switches that I picked up on offer online for around only £10 (£1 each) and then screwed the SM200 through them.
** Now (as mentioned above) I would just like Samotech to soon make the very same style/matching switch adapter but in a 2 gang version that fits 2, (ideally 3 if possible) x Philips Hue Dimmer Switches.
* Also a single gang matching version that fits 2 Philips Hue Dimmer Switches would be great as will currently have to buy this from a 3rd party.
I am Very Happy as this product solves the problem that exist here in the UK (and probably many other countries) when using the Philips Hue Switches with our type (shape, size) of standard switch.

The item is excellent. My switches are not UK, but I can use it with assembly tape.
Russell (verified owner) –
Brilliant. These adapters house the Philips Hue Wireless Dimmer Switch over the existing standard light switch, removing the temptation to switch the lights connected off and thus ‘removing’ them from use on the Hue App. They create a very neat alternative to having the Dimmer Switch mounted next to the existing switch, creating clutter on your wall. Easy to fit. For me the long replacement screws supplied with the adapter were too long, but better being too long than too short! I will be purchasing more of these as I continue to extend Philips Hue lighting throughout my house.

Quite a neat design, nicely injection moulded by Samotech. Allows the standard magnetic USA mount to be adapted to a standard UK switch. N.B. there are a few UK switches that it won’t fit (I have a couple), but in general I think it would fit about 95% of standard rocker switch types.The only real gripe is that it does look a little bulky. Shame Philip’s can’t get their act together for the growing numbers of UK customers (I’d love to know how many switches they’ve sold in the UK) they could have easily made a UK version of the backplate mount!COME ON PHILIPS .. MAKE A UK VERSION!!In the meantime why not try one of these![UPDATE] If they come back in stock that is .. my guess is they’ve sold out. PHILIPS ARE YOU LISTENING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS !!?!?!!?

Livraison super rapide (4 jours pour l’ile de france)).
l’adaptateur est de super qualité. Installation en une dizaine de minutes.
Par contre pas compatible avec ma prise murale, j’ai du enlever le cache blanc ainsi que l’interrupteur pour pouvoir l’installer.
Merci 🙂

Really good solution. Would be 5 stars except supplied screws a little too long (5mm shorter would be better for my fittings) and plate didn’t quite fit flush to wall because all 3 of my light fittings where not flush to the wall, an extra 2mm of depth would help. Only takes 2 minutes to fit.
