Do Hue white bulbs HAVE to have hue bridge?

Sorry, forgot about the follow up.

I use the following device handler: Philips Hue Lux Device?

I am doing this from memory so… it should work:

Connecting a the Light Bulb

  1. Plug in the bulb
  2. Go to add a new thing and let it add
  3. It should add a thing

Device Handler

  1. Login to your IDE
  2. Go to My Device Handlers
  3. Hit Create New Device handlers
  4. Choose from code and copy and paste the code in it’s entirety
  5. Create
  6. Publish to my account
  7. Go into My Devices in the main menu
  8. Click on thing, then click on edit
  9. Choose Zigbee Hue Lux Bulb and update

Note: If you do this, you cannot reset the bulb unless you buy a specific lutron remote (around $30).
