You can ditch the Hue Bridge entirely and just get a Zigbee dongle for Home Assistant: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/migrating-from-a-philips-hue-bridge-to-the-zha-zigbee-home-automation-integration/620862 https://community.home-assistant.io/t/migrating-from-a-phili... Especially since Philips is going the same route as all the other enshittified / cloud home automation services (requiring an account, pushing mandatory terms of service updates after the product is launched, cloud lock-in). It's probably just a matter of time until they stop producing Zigbee bulbs altogether but the current generation works fine with private / free home automation solutions.
