You will need a Zigbee Hub for sure, but it doesn't need to be Philips Hue hub. Folks have used ConBee II or Sonoff Zigbee USB dongle to replace Hue hub.

I have used Sonoff Zigbeen to replace Ikea hub, bot haven't got around to replacing Hue hub just yet. It's on my list :-)

Thanks, I run HomeBridge on a Pi so I might try this if Hue go through with their plan.
