Hi Community, We've just moved and I'm planning some simple smart home lighting automations for our new home - like turning on some cozy lights around sunset, integrating a motion detector that turns on certain lights after the sun goes down. That's about all that should happen. Since I've already worked with Philips Hue in the past, I'd prefer to use the same system, and as far as I know, all of the above should be configurable via the Hue app. There's one issue I'm having trouble understanding: I'd like to allow all residents to turn lights/scenes on or off via Siri commands, and my research shows I may need the HomePod, AppleTV, or iPad as a hub home to do so. (Unfortunately, I don't own and have no use case for any of these devices other than the home hub thing) Is there another way to integrate the features described above into a SmartHome setup? Am I right about the home hub thing? Any helpful answers would be greatly appreciated!
