| Philips Hue | Works Local | Works in Home Hue Hub also integrated with HomeKit and Alexa; HA coexists well | Hue integration talks to hub locally; coexists with HomeKitSaved copyThe benefit is that you have a single strong ZIgbee network rather than two separate competing networks. You can also use the Hue integration to connect to the hub locally which works fine. I personally ditched the Hue hub probably 4 years ago and haven't missed it once, but we all have different priorities.

| Zigbee Home Automation | Works Local | About 50 bulbs and 6 switches working on SLZB-06 with ZHASaved copyI used the Hue integration for about a week before I wanted to explore other options. I nuked my Hue system and installed a SLZB-06 Zigbee Coordinator and used the native ZHA integration in Home Assistant. I have about 50 Hue bulbs, 6 Hue Switches and a handful of other Zigbee sensors all working. It’s really satisfying to have it all work with no reliance on Philips servers or systems.

In ReReHome
Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
