Inspired by the thread “_**[Using bridges or connecting directly to Homey?](https://community.homey.app/t/using-bridges-or-connecting-directly-to-homey/154700)**_”, I’d like to know if you use your Homey with or without additional bridges.  
Before voting, please read the additional explanations in the ℹ footnotes.  
Only one vote per person is allowed.

#### ℹ Footnotes:

\*_¹ This means that communication is only possible via an additional bridge, such as those used by Somfy, EcoWitt, etc., or that the device is not currently supported by Homey; keyword: Home Assistant_

\*_² This means that a bridge can be used, for example, to perform OTA firmware updates or to support additional features, such as lighting scenes with the Philips Hue Bridge_

\*_³ This means that there may be technical issues, such as disconnections to the devices or delays in switching times_

Please note: This post isn’t really intended to start big debates about the vote or the pros and cons, but rather to get as many votes as possible.  
If you nevertheless want to discuss this, please do it with respect. Otherwise, I will close or delete the post.

Thank you very much for participating!
