Meet the finger-powered Philips Hue Tap (pictures)
This kinetic-powered remote wants to bring physical controls to your Philips Hue lighting setup.
Philips Hue Tap
The Philips Hue Tap is a wireless remote for Philips Hue smart-lighting setups. Click through to see what it's capable of.
Detachable back
The Hue Tap comes with a detachable back for flexible placement.
Easy to mount
The back mounts easily using either screws, or sticky tape.
Take it with you
Once you've mounted it to the wall, you'll be able to snap it off and take it with you.
App-enabled
Adding the Tap into your Hue system is an easy, one-button process. From there, you'll be able to customize what each button does.
Push-button controls
Press a button, and the lights change to the desired preset colors and brightness levels.
Finger-powered
Each push of the button gives the Tap a little jolt of power -- which means you'll never need to change out batteries.
Price point
Philips is selling the Hue Tap for $60 (£50 in the UK). That's a bit pricier than we'd like, but we still think it's a logical addition to existing Hue setups. Be sure to read our full review for more details.
