I know Reolink are better but I do already have a whole hue ecosystem.
I get it though… it's simpler than it sounds. You're overlooking the small add-on switches and motion sensors. Before the bulbs received the sensing upgrade, multiple motion sensors were required; before the Hue app update, there were Hue and Hue Sync—a dedicated set of Hue Play items like light bars, TV strips, and the sync box—originally had some layover lighting representing separate areas of the same room for lighting and play in the same room. Then came integration into Samsung OLED instead of the Sync Box. As I consider all this, I have a few custom Play lamps, a rear floodlight, and some outdoor motion sensors n light strips. Nearly every room in my house has between five lights and devices at the minimum and nineteen in the master bedroom, and I also have some Hue Lutron gear.
TLDR
Basically, I enjoy incredibly comforting and detailed mood lighting (peace to play).
Regular House, HUE lighting 😜

But integrating those two would be nice. Have to consider this.
Now tell me more about the Samsung OLED instead of Sync? That could be nice if I ever
buy a 2nd tv. (Current is LG OLED).
Ohh.. never mind. Now I see it, one tme purchase through the app store. Since I already own 2 sync's I'm good. Thanks for the heads up.
• Philips Hue lighting
• Ecobee Sensors
• Apple TV 4K(s) [x5] w/HomeKit / HomeKit SKV Mesh Network / Hardwired
Keeping it simple helps w/ network traffic + device response time
That's my 2cents
Reolink doorbell camera. local storage and no sub fees, always.
if these cameras are atand alone, you'll have to pay for storage and cloud subscriptions. if they allow connection to a PC or NVR, you'll have to pay today's outrageous prices or already have something you're willing to use for recording, which is unlikely as you would already know what you're in for.
when I did my research for a new doorbell cam, Reolink came up as one of the only options to keep local.
if I want to make my lights blink or whatever, I can use ITTT, Tasker, or maybe home assistant when I get further down the degoogle path.
If you are patient and tech savvy look into Home Assistant to integrate Reolink with the rest of your smart home. This allows you to use Reolink's camera features (like motion sensors and built-in lights) to trigger anything else in your house. Going this route requires a bit of a learning curve and some basic Linux knowledge if you want to set it up cheaply, but it makes everything fully customizable. It also saves you from the "Hue tax" I ended up using cheap IKEA sensors and a researched a budget-friendly HomeKit garage opener option, and everything runs seamlessly through Apple HomeKit and Home Assistant.
**edited to add any NVR system may be better (imo)
