Tips:
If a dimmer switch is on the circuit with the Hue lights, the bulbs may buzz or even flicker. Making sure the dimmer is on 100% helps solve these issues; better yet is just having a basic on/off switch.
There's 3 stages to Hue ownership. First, you get the cheapest "soft white only" bulbs to see what they're about and why people say they're better than cheaper options. Second, FOMO strikes again and you find out the hub is TOTALLY worth it over just using Bluetooth, and you buy a bunch of color bulbs so that you can instantly "decorate" for the holidays. Stage 3 (or at least where I'm at now), the novelty of colors has worn off, and the scheduling, independent dimming, and remote control features are the features you use every day (and really the holidays still need more decorations anyway).
Also, as usual, Woot has bonkers pricing. 2 lights for $25 or 4 lights for $27. What?
I can also dim them. I use Alexa for my commands.
I do have a TP-Link switch at the wall. The hue never loose their settings.

I have 5 can lights on one switch. I can turn on just two over my island on any combination.

As I said, they have their uses. I have plenty of 2700k hues in my house. Some in my walk in closet that turn on/off automatically based on the door being open (I have a ring sensor). Par38s outside that can be changed individually based on what we're doing in the backyard or flashing to let me know if someone's at the front door. Etc etc. mixing hue with home automation is a winning combination.
I always try to post that warning, though, because many people are unaware that there are hue bulbs that don't do color or temperature changing.

Don't put your hue lights on a dimmer. Good Lord.

Just a heads up: does not support HDMI 2.1, so if you plan to use with gaming systems (a very good use for it!), you will not be able to get 120hz through the sync box, along with all the other bells and whistles of HDMI 2.1.
Reccomend holding off until a newer model comes out that supports this (Govee has one coming in the Summer, so Hue in theory should have a competing product).

LOL!!! I thought I was reading my own experience. However, I've really enjoyed having certain scenes on high in lieu of normal lighting to be nice. Mixes of reds, purples, and blues. I find the scenes to be easier on the eyes while still providing decent lighting.
