Still Philips Hue Bridge needed with ZipaMicro?
Need Answer
Looking at the list of hue Philips network in the "add new device wizard" there are a few hue devices avaiable. Next to the known "Philips hue Bridge" there are more hue devices listed.
In my case I have a Philips hue White Ambiance lamp. When I choose this device the wizard does find and configure a device and finalize the wizard without any error . But no device is added to the device manager.....?...
Could it be that the networktype for Philips hue isn't enabled/available in the device manager? Or is still a hue Bridge needed?
Did anyone added succesfully a Philips Hue lamp ussing the "add new device wizard"?

Sounds like the wizard is detecting the lamp via direct Zigbee pairing but failing to properly register it in the device manager—this often happens when the Hue network type isn't fully initialized or the system expects a Bridge to handle the API layer. It's similar to how Paint 3D would recognize and "import" 3D models, even letting you complete the import wizard, but then fail to actually display them in the workspace because the underlying rendering engine wasn't properly linked. You likely still need the Hue Bridge acting as the middleware; direct Zigbee pairing without it leaves the device in a sort of limbo where the wizard sees the hardware but the software stack can't catalog it properly. https://paint3d.org/paint-3d-not-working/
