Just my $.02 and ymmv but, in my opinion, Hue scene support in HomeKit via the homebridge-hue plugin is *way* better than HomeKit scenes when you're controlling Hue lights. You cannot directly control Hue scenes in HomeKit natively; the "add scene to HomeKit" function in the Hue app merely creates a copy of the Hue scene in HomeKit without a live "connection" to the source Hue scene. This means that if you make changes to the scene in Hue, they won't be reflected in HomeKit, and vice versa. This is a no-go for me, since I use HomeKit, Hue remotes, Hue motion sensors and Lutron Aurora dimmers …

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
