It sucks. Any other compatible app, free or paid, that let you set routines like alarm clocks and that worth it?

Good that I didn't buy, then.

Since the Hue bulbs are using the Zigbee standard, you can still safely buy them in the foreseeable future and just connect it with something like SkyConnect, zzh!, Conbee, etc. and use it with Home Assistant

Are phillips things reflashable with esphome/tasmota? I'm not a huge fan of tuya, but so fari have been able to reflash/rebrain everything i gave bought from them. It should be a lot easier though :/

I don't even know why people still use Hue anymore. It's overpriced and zigbee and matter exist.

Hue uses Zigbee though, doesn't it? In my experience they're the most reliable Zigbee lights with the most consistent light output, and work very well as routers.
