Is it possible to connect Hue lamps to the Premium gateway without Hue Bridge?

You have two options to control the Hue lamps via the Premium gateway.

1. Direct login to the gateway via the addZ-Stick

If you insert the addZ-Stick into the Premium gateway, you can register Philips Hue lamps and other Zigbee lamps (version 3.0) directly at the Premium gateway. A Hue Bridge is not necessary in this case.

2. Integration of Hue lamps via Philips Hue Bridge

You also have the option to register a Philips Hue Bridge to the Premium gateway. All registered lamps are automatically transferred to the gateway and can be operated and used in Routines.

Conclusion: If you already have a Hue Bridge, you can register it directly to the Premium gateway without having to buy another stick. If you don't have a Hue Bridge yet, you can use the addZ-Stick to make your Premium gateway Zigbee capable and register Zigbee lamps directly.
