Philips Hue SmartPlug CH
Question about Philips Hue SmartPlug CH
A question about the size of the SmartPlug CH version in real life: What does it look like with the typical 3-gang sockets? Will 2 other plugs fit into the wall socket in addition to the SmartPlug or will access to the other sockets be covered by the Philips plug? Thank you
Helpful answer
You mean the wall sockets arranged in a star shape.
Yes, the switch slightly covers the other two sockets. If it is a newer wall socket with recessed plugs, then in a few cases it may be possible to plug in a device in the other two slots, but this depends on the device; 2-pin EU plugs with a thin cable and slim plug may fit. Unfortunately, three-pin CH plugs with a thick cable do not.
I have therefore mounted my HUe switches remotely with an adapter.

That is a problem. But I have a solution for this: Steffen Steko swivel angle adapter (type 13, 1 x)
