Not that I’m aware of. I already gave a possible reason for the accessories not being supported [in this thread](https://community.homey.app/t/philips-hue-switch-in-app-with-brigde/52510/3). TL;DR: the way Athom programmed the Hue app means it has to periodically poll the Hue bridge for the state of the sensors, which requires a lot of bandwidth, and when this is running in the cloud Athom has to pay for that bandwidth.
