I'll take my "internet-connected abomination" over having to wire in a dimmer switch that might change the tone of the light as you dim, make buzzing sounds, cut out the light early, or shorten the lifespan of the bulb.

Hue has been the first dimming system that actually works well. I have a few colored bulbs, but rarely need them, the biggest benefit to me (aside from automation: dusk auto-on/off) is dimming different shades of white/yellow. Great system that has no real analogue competition.
