Yeah, I have pondered a few times, I should probably buy a kit on a black friday deal and have a play with one room, also wish they made their switches look and act more like normal switches.
I still really want a solution like Den devices, but sadly they have already gone under once, and seem to be using some bespoke protocols so if they go under again you are left with nothing.

I used these for switches https://www.samotech.co.uk/products/philips-hue-dimmer-converter-cover-raised-switch/
They cover existing switches and neatly wall mount the philips ones.There does seem to be a massive gap in the market for a neat, slot-in switch replacement (preferably with a dimmer) that ties in to the main ecosystems though.

Yeah... I went Philips Hue and estimated that it cost £800 to do the whole flat and a similar number of lights. This included the switches and changes to make the switches cover the old manual switches.
It was an easier pill to swallow as when we had moved in all of the lights were halogen so I already knew I was going to change them all for LED. I only opted for the white Hue lights... I've since purchased a single coloured Hue lamp and now with I hadn't... the white Hue lights are way nicer.
