The operation is simple, after pairing it via the Hue app, you set up what you want each button to do. It actually has 4 buttons, 3 little round ones that you see and the entire rest of the face of the unit is another button. Default is the first small button is 100% brightness, 2nd is a dimmer setting, 3rd is a nightlight and clicking the rest of the face turns them off.
It comes with wall mounting plate that has adhesive on it. I haven't mounted mine so I can't comment too much on that but it looks solid enough.
Only downside is that they are a little pricey but in my opinion well worth it considering how well they work and that they won't ever need a battery.
Since buying this, I've purchased several of the Hue dimmer switches. Even though they have a battery I prefer them. In addition for the dimmer switch buttons being easy to press, the switches have a lot more functionality (accessible through 3rd party aps such as hue Dynamic).
As an Information Technology professional, I'm not there as the trust level nor putting all my eggs in one basket for home automation. I'd try Alexa if it had a physical hard mute button. And no batteries! How cool is that anyway? Had for about 5 months without issue. Recommended.

Además del manejo de escenarios, HomeKit de Apple cuenta con una facilidad de automatización avanzada llamada “ShortCuts”, que posibilita programar de forma relativamente sencilla, acciones y rutinas ejecutadas automáticamente cuando se cumple la condición que se le indique. Además de las posibilidades que un sistema HUE ofrece, cada botón de este control, puede activar un escenario o un “Shortcut” de HomeKit cada vez que se oprime.
Yo tengo uno montado en la pared cerca de la escalera y entrada de mi recámara; cada uno de los 4 botones tiene asignada la ejecución de un Shortcut de HomeKit para prender o apagar el sistema de seguridad, apagar todas las luces de la planta baja, apagar las luces del exterior y encender o apagar las luces y el aire acondicionado de la sala de TV contigua en base a la hora del día y temperatura interior.
El hecho de que no utilice pila, hace que no requiera de mantenimiento alguno.
Buen producto, aunque es algo caro, resuelve bien necesidades como la descrita.
