Philips Hue launches Tap Dial for smart light control

Philips Hue has introduced the Hue Tap Dial, a small, puck-shaped controller for smart lights, priced at $50. Unlike previous models, it allows users to control multiple rooms with customizable buttons, enhancing user experience and flexibility. The Tap Dial features four buttons and a rotating outer wheel for adjusting brightness. Users can assign different functions to each button, making it suitable for various lighting scenes. It can be mounted on walls or placed on metal surfaces due to its magnetic design. Currently, the Tap Dial is not discounted for Black Friday, but Philips offers a mix-and-match deal that provides a 30% discount when purchased with other products. This makes it an appealing gift for those already using Philips Hue lights.
