      Indeed I’ve never even installed the hue app, always assumed it was just a zigbee thing anyway. The hardware is just a basic zigbee bulb.

      Mostly I’ve been moving to using the ikea ones though as they’re much cheaper.

        If you have home assistant, you don’t need a zigbee hub, just a ZigBee USB stick. There’s a whole bunch of them, I think they’re all pretty similar, a few have Z-Wave also. I’m 100% Z-Wave so I can’t say personally what is the best stick to use… Just check the forums and whatnot.
