Philips Hue Bridge Pro
The Hue Bridge Pro is the modern “Hue brain” for Zigbee-connected Hue devices, and it’s how you unlock the Hue app features I actually care about—especially scenes. My issue is what it doesn’t do: it’s not a Matter controller and it’s not a Thread border router, so it’s not replacing my real smart home hubs.
Pros
- +Brings Zigbee Hue devices into Apple Home and other platforms
- +Unlocks Hue app features like scene gallery and advanced controls
- +Supports a much larger device count than the older bridge
Cons
- -Not a Matter controller and not a Thread border router
- -Post-migration quirks: missing “Add to Apple Home” button and more app crashes
- -Some devices may act weird in Apple Home after upgrading
