Since the Hue bulbs are using the Zigbee standard, you can still safely buy them in the foreseeable future and just connect it with something like SkyConnect, zzh!, Conbee, etc. and use it with Home Assistant
I was under the impression that the v2 Hue Zigbee was encrypted, and hadn't yet been broken.
Is this still the case?
As far as I know, since 2019 the Hue bulbs or lights are Zigbee + Bluetooth. I haven't heard of a Bluetooth-only bulb yet
After double checking, yes, you're correct. I deleted my incorrect comment.
