By Christian · 18 October 2026
It is possible to configure your Philips Hue devices to turn on at a dimmed level through the ZenseHome app. There are two different settings available:
Stepwise Dimming from the Switch
The Hue device is configured to turn on at full brightness with a short press of the switch, and at a dimmed level with a long press.
The setting can be found under:
Home → the room where the Hue device is located → Dimming
Turn On at a Fixed Dimmed Level
The Hue device is configured to turn on at a fixed dimmed level with a short press. In addition, it is possible to configure the Hue device to turn on at a fixed dimmed level only during a specified time period.
The setting can be found under:
Home → the room where the Hue device is located → On Level
