Philips Hue Smart Bulbs Get Plug-In Switches Instead of Battery-Powered Ones

Philips Hue is launching a new wall switch next June that plugs into power rather than running on batteries. It solves a real problem: when you flip a traditional switch, smart bulbs lose their wireless connection entirely. The new hardwired switch keeps the bulbs connected to the network and eliminates the need for battery replacements, a relief for homes and offices with many lights.
