Could someone please tell me the best practice for adding philips hue?

Philips Hue
Google Nest speakers
Google Home routines
Nameron lights

I made a mess earlier and plan a full reset.
That mess is three times as many lights as I actually have.
Why the mess? Duplicates from syncing Homey with Google and Philips Hue with Homey.

Triple the fun because I changed the language on my phone from English to Norwegian for a bit. This created new zones within Google Home and/or in Homey Pro.
I no longer know what is what.

I think a merchant in a store told me he had forgone the Philips Hue app, adding the bridge directly to Homey without the Hue app. Is this viable? What is my best option?

I would like to maintain the use of Google Home commands for lights.

Thanks in advance
