Looking for something to control ceiling lights

in Devices
Hello,

I'm looking for a device so I can control my ceiling lights. I already have my lights with a plug hooked up with sockets from the Action, but now I want full control.

I've seen that KlikaanKlikuit has these.

Does anyone has experience with this system or perhaps an other system they can recommend?

Thanks

    Hue can be great, but limited in product diversity.
    Kaku/zwave switches behind the wallswitch should be best option:
    - more user friendly by being able to use wall switches
    - more options in lamps, etc

    Zwave, ok. But u would prefer Kaku-normal lamp above Hue? Hmmm.

    In my case: Hue (zigbee) above KaKu (although KaKu is evolving with the 868 range supporting two-way communication).
    Z-Wave above hue (in my case) as it is cheaper.

    For my 8 ceiling light GU10 spots I added two Fibaro Z-Wave dimmers (120€). For this I get dimmable spots that are still controllable by the wall switches (in hotel sequence). So I can advise this to anyone :)

    I'm looking for something not too expensive. Since I have a total of 9 gui10 I think the Hue is a bit expensive. I'll look into some of suggestions you gave me!

    Fibaro z-wave dimmer 2 is a simple and good option. I've used 2 of them in my new bathroom. Very nice!

    Using 2 x fibaro dimmer 2 very happy with, I use it with a double pulse-switch for on/off and dim/bright. I have one dimmer 2 in the wallbox and the other one at lamp in ceiling.
