Hi,  
I have a huge bridge, with a light and to switches.  
My question is, do i need a Homey hub to get the bridge connected to Homey?

When i’m trying right now (without a homey hub) it just keeps loading even though i have granted permission from Philips Hue.

I have an Android phone, so i don’t know if i should try a different phone.

Assuming you mean a Homey Bridge: no, you don’t need a Homey Bridge if you want to use Hue devices with Homey Cloud, just the Hue bridge.

However, be aware that Homey Cloud does not support Hue switches or sensors, just lights and plugs.

Hi Robert,  
Yes that exactly what i mean.

But when grant permission from Philips Hue, it just keeps loading. Do you now why, or have any idea how to fix this?
