Battery-operated Dimmer Switch recommendation?

[JDRoberts]

I purchased a Philips 458158 Hue Dimmer Switch for SmartThings setup and found it does not work. Is there something like the Hue Dimmer that works in a similar way. The hue dimmer runs off a battery and sticks to the wall. I do not need for it to come off the wall. I searched amazon and google and could not find anything.

The Pico will not be visible to SmartThings through the official integration, so I’m not sure if it will do what you want. You would have to also have a lutron master switch and then that’s the only switch that the pico could work with. So it might be OK as an auxiliary switch in a three-way, but it’s not just a dimmer switch on its own.

There are a number of battery operated switches that might be of interest. The FAQ covers both battery operated and mains powered buttons and switches:

FAQ: Full list of buttons and remotes confirmed to work with SmartThings [Not all devices listed work with the 2020 Platform]

I’d like to know which buttons and remotes are currently supported or might be supported in the future. Ideally, I’d like to find something similar to the following: http://www.evolvecontrols.com/devices/control-devices/glass-series Though alternatively just a simple nice-looking button which actually works unlike this Aeon according to Amazon reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Touch-Panel-Button-Switch-AL-001/dp/B00GL6B4GG/ref=sr_1_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1421468320&sr=1-3&keywords=aeon+button There is an Aeon Key Fob as well, but it doesn’t seem to be very durable or stylish: What else is available?

One popular one is a Z wave device, the Cooper 9575, which looks exactly like a regular switch and does communicate to the SmartThings hub.

But there are a lot of other options as well, just see the FAQ.
