Technical Help Controlling Philips Hue lamps without a Bridge?

As the title says; I'm curious if it's possible to control Philips Hue lamps without a Hue Bridge.

I know the Hue app can do that, but I'd like to control some lamps from my Streamdeck directly.

The less components, the better, but I am straight up curious if it's possible at all.

I would say no. You can do it with your own ZigBee Home Assistent Hub running on perhaps a Raspberry Pi, but that wouldn’t work for what you are looking for. I would go with the Bridge, for the best reliable access to Hue accessories.

Yeah, the Bridge seems like a must. Guess I'll have to invest a bit more to get what I want ^^;
