Is a bridge needed when I have a homey ?

MexterDorgan

hello all. 

Here's my question. 
If i have homey , do. I still need a bridge to control my hue lights and or klikaanklikuit sockets? 
Research tells me I need them without a homey. 
Im just wondering if I still need them when I own an homey...

thanks.

Currently yes for Hue, no for KaKu devices.

As said above but with the added note that they are working on without a bridge

I think MHubert is talking about the zigbee integration. But we don't know when we get that.

Also, we don't know if Plugwise will open up their security, plugwise is Zigbee+ ...

Also, we don't even known if Athom will use the 2.4Ghz antenna for Zigbee.
It was said on Slack by (if i'm right) Jeroen and the are/were discussing what to do with that 2.4Ghz antenna.

Long story short;
Besides BT(LE) it not sure for what the will use that antenna.
