Just for the future I think increments of 100 for the temp may still be too small - off the top of my head it ranges from about 2500 to 6500 - would take 40 clicks from one extreme to he other.

I agree - I will change this to 300. The official range is 2700 to 6500 so 300 should work fine as 12 clicks.

I want to buy a hue bulb anyway. They seem cool. Does it require the Phillips hub or can I do a direct WiFi connection like SmartLife bulbs.

Hue bulbs are zigbee i believe. Looks like this post has lots of relevant information.

Hue direct to hub

A minimote is a Z wave device, it has no way of communicating with either a Hue bridge or a Hue Bulb, as those are zigbee. Hue bulbs are certified ZLL devices, nothing has changed between the first, second, or third generations as far as what zigbee coordinators they can connect to. All of that said, there are several reasons to use the hue bridge if you want to use hue bulbs with SmartThings. See the FAQ ( this is a clickable link) As far as the bulbs that you can’t connect, see if they will work with the hue bridge that you have. If they will, then you should be able to reset them and then use them directly with your SmartThings hub if you really want to do so. If you can’t get them to connect with your hue bridge, then contact Phillips hue support. What you do have them work…

So looks like hue hub is recommended but not required.
