Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am not using the smartthings hub but everything I have read says that you do need the hue bridge. The hue bridge gives you connectivity to the lights. The smartthings bridge connects the different brands to a common control point.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you still need the hue smart bridge. Once you have the bridge you can control them with the Harmony remote
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You will need the Hue bridge to operate your lights. The bridge creates a separate WiFi network for your lights.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes I believe so. Now I say this because I had my Hue bridge setup before I setup my Smart Things hub, but it seemed as if the Smart Things hub located the Hue bridge and then all of the lights. So I believe you will need to have the Hue starter kit to get going. I haven't tried the lights without the bridge though so I wouldn't argue with someone if they've had success without it.
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Depends which smarth items you have but if you don't have the one for lights yes you need it
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Technically no, but you won't be able to unpair them from your smartthings hub if you decide to buy a Philips bridge later on.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
