You can pair this directly with the smart things hub.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you will need a Hue bridge and if you have to buy it get the newest but both will work ,then you will have to link it to your smarthing hub or you just use it individual too ,but if you have Alexa you will need to link them in order for Alexa to control them
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe the Philips Hue bulbs only work with their bridge and your home wifi. The Philips Hue starter pack I purchased at Best Buy came with the bridge and 2 bulbs to start with. Each additional bulb you can purchase separately through Best Buy which I found cheaper then even Amazon.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If I am not mistaken you will still need a hue bridge to work these. I have an Almond and still needed the Hue to control the lights
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I recommend you get the Hue Bridge 2nd Generation as any Future Bulbs may not work with Hue Bridge 1st generation . I believe it does work with hue Bridge 1st gen but Not certain check at Hue web site www.meethue.com

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think there might be a fancy work around to get them to work directly with smart things. I have the 1st generation hue bridge and smarthings and they work together just fine. Either hue hub will work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you still needs to have their hub. That is why I ended buying the Osram Bulbs.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need to have a bridge for any of the Hue products to work. I'm not sure they still sell me the first gen bridge anymore but they sell the second and from my experience it's works better than the original .
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you do need the Phillips bridge.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
