Hi @Fahad

Slight problem with that idea… the bulb is incapable of running both Zigbee and Matter over Thread firmwares simultaneously.

Also, the device ID would be the same, so Homey would only detect it as a new device to add the one time… so even if the bulb was (which it most definitely isn’t) capable of running both Matter over Thread and Zigbee, you can’t add the same device twice.

EDIT: when exposing Zigbee devices over a Matter Bridge, it is the Matter controller that converses Matter to the client Hub, not the actual device. Effectively the Matter Bridge is acting as a client device and then translating and relaying the commands to the actual device over Zigbee.
