Will this work with the hue hub and app? null

First off, the Auxiliary Switch does not work on it's own - it's meant for using with a primary switch in 2, 3 or 4 switch setups (such as when you have a switch for a hall light on each end of the hallway). You need this: GE Z-Wave 960-Watt CFL-LED Indoor In-Wall On/Off Rocker Switch - which is more expensive than the Auxiliary switch, but required for a single switch setup or as the primary in a multi-switch setup. Second, the GE switches are Z-wave devices. The Hue does not control Z-wave devices. So the short answer is no. There are Z-wave controller devices that will pair with the Hue gateway that will allow a hybrid controller system, where the hybrid Z-wave controllers can talk to the Hue and control what Hue controls. http://www.vesternet.com/resources/using-z-wave-and-philips-hue-together - go here for more info.

This is just an add on switch (wired) for other smart switches by GE to make a 3way or 4way setup. It does not connect to a hub by itself. Your primary switch defines what protocol it communicates. GE makes both Zwave and Zigbee switches. You would have to check if Hue supports either one and get the corresponding GE or any other brand smart switch.
