Some 1100lm Hue (white), 1600lm Hue (white), and Philips Ultra Definition (high CRI) dumb bulbs on Leviton Z-Wave dimmers. DO NOT BUY 1600lm (white) Hue. They overheat and eventually stop working. The Philips dumb bulbs have a tiny bit of buzzing with these dimmers but nothing out of the ordinary.
Note that you’d need a Z-Wave radio for that thermostat. You can easily have both a ZigBee and a Z-Wave radios on the same device. You can do this with a Raspberry Pi and a couple of USB dongles, or with Home Assistant Yellow and the ZooZ GPIO Z-Wave add-on module for it. Everything I mentioned is plug and play.
I believe they are the warm white ones not sure exact model rn. When I try to add them to the Hue app they simply dont appear no matter what I do with the bridge. Maybe I can add them direct to HA or something without the bridge?
Yes you can add them directly to HA with a ZigBee radio but the fact that you can’t connect them to the Hie bridgeeads me to think there might be a problem with the bulbs themselves.
What lights if you don’t mind? I will probably get that honeywell now that Google is throwing my nest in the garbage.

Interesting. I have some hues but having issues with the bridge, might try the dimmer switches.
What Hue do you have and what are the symptoms?

Have you tried resetting them?
