Yes you can. There are two apps in the store for Hue devices and one is for use with the hub and the other for use without. > **[Philips Hue, without the bridge](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.philips.hue.zigbee/Philips-Hue,-without-the-bridge/)** > > Smart light — your way. ---

It will extend the mesh for all devices connected to the same hub only. Homey connected devices form a separate mesh from all Hue hub connected devices, they have their own mesh. ---

> [@Oren\_Malki](#): > > so homey app version is 6.2 This is the version of the Homey app (smartphone). I asked for the Homey Firmware version (4.2 or 5.x) and the version of the Philips Hue Zigbee app for Homey (v2.0.1x). The reason why I asked for, because two days ago a new version of the Philips Hue Zigbee app (v2.0.18) with a lot of new devices was released. Maybe you use the old version and your bulb isn’t supported. > [@Oren\_Malki](#): > > the ids i find out was: > Product ID:---- > Device ID: ----- > Profile ID:------ > only with the numbers And what numbers? These numbers are not a secret. With these numbers I wanted to check if the lamp is already supported. On GitHub you can make a request in the “Issues” section and ask the developer for adding the bulb. Therefore you need the IDs.

I had a look, the E26 lamp does not seem to be supported yet. So there is no need to update anything. > [@Oren\_Malki](#): > > i presse on isssue on the git hub page and send him this message: You have to create a new issue. ![Bildschirmfoto 2020-12-19 um 13.08.35](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/a/da400560dc8f9e271e34615662e6a6efae9c3431.png) Or make a request in the above linked thread… 🤷🏼‍♂️ ---

Yes > [@Oren\_Malki](#): > > Do i need to update my homey version? How do i do it if so? I do not recommend updating to firmware v5.x. The firmware v5.x still has beta status and is partly buggy. However, it is possible that the developer of the Philips Hue Zigbee app adds the lamp to the app which is only compatible with the Homey firmware v5.x.
