If hue is a matter bridge already that talks with other matter devices, then possibly.

you'd need to set up matter on HA as a bridge

It would be easy to test, HA would probably auto detect it imediately

All you'd need to know is the URL for the matter bridge if it doesn't automatically find it. e.g. ws://<bridgeip>:5580/ws

asking because this appeared on ha

and idk what it does

[worn sable]

accept it and see what it creates

it's on your network, it's not going to be something random

i only set up the hue bridge, i dont have anything else lol

it also has thread for some reason

[worn sable]

if it's a thread matter device, you need thread too

Do you have any Thread Border Router (e.g. Apple HomePod Mini, AppleTV, Alexa Echo, Google Nest Hub, Google Nest Hub, Nest Wifi, Samsung TV, Soundbar, Fridge, Dryer) in your network? If so, Home Assistant found it. Configure it and you will see your Thread Border Router(s).
