Hue Bridge + Echo co exists with same Hue Bridge + SmartThings?

OK, a related dumb/weird question. (Remember I don’t have a Philips Hue bridge yet.)

If I have a Hue bridge known to both Echo and SmartThings, and I have Echo turn on one Hue bulb, can I use Big Switch to subscribe to that event and turn on other devices?

And if yes, is there the typical Hue polling lag of around 5 minutes, or is it quicker?

And if yes, would the same thing work with a WeMo switch, or does that integration not support that case? (I know I can use a WeMo switch as the IF for IFTTT, and that a Hue bulb cannot be an IFTTT trigger. I’m asking about the cloud to cloud ST integrations, no additional middlemen.)

@smart do you have any of your Echo-controlled Hues set up as the master switch in Big Switch to trigger a non Echo-controlled device?
