I did buy a wall switch which the Hue bridge see as “a friend of hue” and from the Hue bridge I can do all different stuff. But I can’t get the wall switch in Homey Bridge (not pro).  
I was told that I could do that, but as I read it is a limitation in the Homey Bridge. Is that correct and will it work if I buy a Homey Pro ?

The only two thing I can see within the Homey Philips Hue app is Light and Plug?

Welcome to the community,

What brand is it?  
Have you searched the Homey App store for your brand device?

> [Homey App Store](https://homey.app/apps/browse/#filter?query=wall%20switch&platform=local)

even with the Hue App by Athom it might work wit Homey Pro as the Homey Pro uses a local connection to the Hue bridge.

> [Philips Hue App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/a/nl.philips.hue/)

But without more information:

> Please note that 3rd party brands such as IKEA, Osram and other Friends of Hue accessories that are connected to the Hue bridge might work, but are not officially supported.

It’s a noname, but can be included in Philpis Hue Bridge as Friend of Hue.  
In the Homey App for Philips Hue I can only see is: Light and Plug
