The Hue Amaze can be dimmed, switched on/off or assigned a scene with the app like other Hue lamps. However, pairing/connection with the Hue Bridge is mandatory. Note: The included remote control can also be configured with the app and used with other Hue lamps and groups through the bridge.
Note for pairing with the Hue Bridge: Before mounting the lamp, always note the hardware/serial number of the lamp on the base in case the automatic pairing with the Bridge does not work right away.
