I just started integrating hue lights to my SmartThings and I would recommend the Hue Advanced Connect (community created smartapp) to integrate with your hue hub.
Hue Advanced (Connect) is yet another replacement for the standard Hue (Connect) service manager and device handlers.

I would like to extend a huge thank you to @infofiend for allowing me to work on HGLS, which led to this project, as well as to @Kristopher for allowing me to continue development on Circadian Daylight.
It also integrates with a Circadian Daylight app created by the same community member.
Use your SmartThings Hub to sync your color changing lights with natural daylight hues

Circadian Daylight slowly synchronizes your color changing lights with local perceived color temperature of the sky throughout the day. This gives your environment a more natural feel, with cooler whites during the midday and warmer tints near twilight and dawn.
In addition, Circadian Daylight can set your lights to a nice cool white at 1% in “Sleep” mode, which is far brighter than starlight but won’t reset your circadian rhythm or break down too much rhodopsin in your eyes.

Circadian Daylight works better with Hue Advanced (Connect) !
Special thanks to @juano2310 for working through some of the internal Hue code :), and…
