Do you need a hue bridge if you have Alexa?
Through the Alexa app you can group your Hue bulbs together and even group them with smart lights of a different brand. However, without the Hue Bridge you can't create custom scenes, have lights turn on or off based on your location, or access various other advanced features available in the Hue app.
What can I use if I don't have a Hue Bridge?
Hue's newest bulbs are the same basic thing as before, but they now include Bluetooth radios in addition to the Zigbee receivers. That lets you pair them directly with your phone without need for a Hue Bridge. To do so, you'll need to use a separate, Bluetooth-based version of the Hue app on your Android or iOS device.3 Jun 2020
