Although not a "deal," Philips Hue has recently increased the price of the Bridge Pro from $98.99 when it first came out, to $139.99. This is reflected on its own website. If you're in the market for a Bridge Pro, I strongly suggest you buy it at third party merchants like Amazon and Home Depot soon before their prices also increase.

The direct Hue store has always had a higher price.
See the above post. And just FYI, the Hue store was $98.99 last time I checked a few days ago. It looks like the price increase happened yesterday. Again, feel free to wait on a deal on the original $98.99 price but I just wanted to give others fair warning that prices at other retailers will probably increase eventually. It looks like the Apple.com website already reflects the new higher price.

The Bridge is a $100 piece of legacy hardware kept alive by a company protecting its ecosystem, not its customers.
Every feature it offers exists natively in Matter/Thread today — local control, fast response, multi-platform support — no middleman required, and faster response times.
Newer Hue bulbs with the Matter logo already work this way without the bridge. Philips knows the Bridge is obsolete; that's exactly why they've been slow-walking native Matter support.
This is expensive E-waste.
You need the hub to work through the Hue app and similar stuff, Im pretty sure.
