Does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement bridge that works with home assistant? It seems I’ll be throwing out the hue bridge and never buying a phillips product again.

As of right now, you can connect to hue devices directly with Zigbee.

The SkyConnect from HomeAssitant/Nabu Casa works quite well: https://www.home-assistant.io/skyconnect/

Hue isn't really a Phillips product. Signify is the company you want to avoid.

That might be strictly true but the blowback from this is me avoiding Philips products from now on.

They should use their influence with Signify to get them to take a long term view. Right now I regret buying more expensive "Philips" light bulbs, sync boxes and other hardware.

I'm pissed off that I bought one product and they've retrospectively changed the terms of usage.
