Or just get a ZigBee hub and keep using the bulbs without the Hue hub
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.
Any recommendations for a Zigbee hub to use with HomeAssistant? I'm planning to make the switch now that Hue is doing this
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.
