Hi is it necessary to have a hue bridge or can you use the homey bridge with the dimmer switch and lamps from hue? ---

For Homey Cloud you need a Hue bridge, but Homey Cloud doesn’t support Hue switches, only lights and plugs. ---

Not tested, but Homey cloud + bridge does have the general zigbee driver as well. I’d expect a Hue light/plug to work as general zigbee device (without a Hue hub). But it’s a theory. ---
