This is a good deal but I think this is just Costco's regular price for this

I like the version one of the switch a lot better with four separate buttons that I can individually assign in HomeKit.

Own this and the v1 (with separate on/off buttons).

The biggest thing this has going for it is that Hue artificially locked some software features behind upgrading to the v2.0 (time of day based lighting). Biggest downside is that Hue cheapened out on both the physical switches and magnets. These things fall off their provided holders frequently compared to never on the v1.0 dimmer switch, and the button press switches feel mushy and often don't detect a press (the switch under the button feels under-sized, so if you don't hit it dead-center it may not fire).

The cost-cutting is real. But yet it still costs exactly the same as the v1.0 dimmer switch.

Can these be assigned to other functions in Smartthings?

I believe this can be done on this version too. This version also has four buttons, the dimmer up and down is combined aesthetically but are separate buttons. https://www.techhive.com/article/...panel.html

I had the same question, and noticed this in its description:

The biggest mistake on these is they should fit a normal junction box letting you hardwire the switch behind the plate and then use the remote on the switch plate. The run less wires switches are the way to go.

These "work" but often don't get it the first click and you have to hit it a few times. Kinda annoying

They pulled an apple on us.
I find these v2 switches to be a marked improvement- and never have had one just fall off the switch because of weak magnets.

I don't say this to undermine your experience, but just to add to the discourse here - I've experienced none of those issues with the V2. No dropping from the plate. No issues with button presses registering.

Wasn't Kasa switches $8 yesterday?
Our use-case for these over Kasa switches that I frequently see come and go on sale were in rooms that had no existing switches and no ceiling lights. In such a room where we were using floor lamps with Hue bulbs and Hue light strips these were a perfect, simple solution at a good price.
