Little hint for you....
"For instance, Philips Hue uses ZigBee, but connecting third-party ZigBee-supported bulbs to the Hue’s hub can be a chore, depending on what bulb it is. GE and Cree bulbs are fairly easy to connect, but Osram Lightify bulbs are sort of a pain to pair with the Hue’s hub.
However, even if you can connect third-party bulbs to the Hue’s hub, they may not take advantage of the mesh networking. For instance, GE Link bulbs won’t pass on a signal to a Cree bulb, so the Cree bulb has to find another bulb to connect to if it’s out of the hub’s range."
