I use Hue at home as well. They are great for controlling blue light exposure, but the flicker (North America) and color quality leave a ton to be desired. I can occasionally see the flicker, especially in my peripheral vision.
Also, they've proven to be unreliable—I've had 4 (out of 13) suffer capacitor failure just outside of the warranty period. Their color binning is not good—new lights look totally different in color from the older ones.
I wrote about this and was interviewed on a podcast recently:

Disclosure: I sell a light bulb meant to be used in the evening before bed. It removes most of the unhealthy blue/green light, has a super high CRI, and has less flicker than "flicker-free" lighting (which could have up to 30% flicker!).
