- Is the 50 device (13-accessory) limit purely due to bridge hardware? Anyone aware of plans for Signify to release an updated bridge (even if more expensive)?

Any Zigbee2MQTT users? Using Hue without a Hue Bridge
Check out diyHue to use the Hue app with Zigbee2MQTT without a physical Hue bridge. I've been running it for almost a year with zero problems using the Hue Essentials app.

When the fuck is hue going to release a better hub?
I would highly suggest you run diyHue on either an old computer, or a Pi. diyHue is a hub emulator, it can take many sources, e.g. a Hue hub, Home Assistant, etc, then make them appear as a single hub in the Hue app.

WiZ Dynamic Colors
Finally, i'd like to mention DiyHUE, (HA addon and integration availables) which is basically a HUE emulator that allow you to add a lot of non-hue lights into the HUE ecosystem, and control them using the official HUE app, which has a really nice UI and the whole "hue labs" formulas and custom effects included, which is awesome

Hue Bridge backup
Maybe diyHue is what you're looking for. As a warning, consider it in alpha stage.

Is there software to control disparate color light brands into single interesting scenes a-la Hue scenes?
There’s a few projects out there like this: https://openrgb.org/ and https://diyhue.org/ there’s probably a few others too.

Using non Phillips Zigbee bulbs in HomeKit via Hue Bridge?
Ther also exists a Hue Bridge emulator called DIYhue. I didn‘t try it yet but it seems promising. This Software can run on a Pi and emulates a Hue Bridge. Therefore your official Hue app can discover it. On the other end the Software connect with the real Bridge but also with third party devices. For example over the ConBee II ZigBee USB Stick.

Is it worth upgrading a v2 hub?
Get a Pi and a Zigbee gateway stick and install diyHue instead. Don't let Philips pull the rug on you, like they did with the v1.

On/off light switch options in the UK
My solution when family and work will let me is to see if an alternate zigbee controller can be used with diyhue.org and Zigbee2MQTT.io and see if I can use some of the Chinese switches but still use the app that the family are used to.

New apartment being built, is wired still a thing in 2021 or i will be fine with ZigBee/Zwave?
Ahh ok. There's about a 50 device limit per hub on Hue. When you hit that, you could either move everything over to the HA server, or you can run multiple hubs, and then use diyHue to emulate a hub, and create a new virtual hub with both hubs merged. We have everything connected to the HA server through Zigbee2MQTT, but we still run diyHue as it works with HA as well. We use it because people like the app, and personally I like the app as well as it has some features that aren't easy or reasonable to add in Lovelace. We're also staying on version 3.8 of the app, before the new shitty redesign (I have a 3.8 apk I've modded to not update if you would like it).

WiZ Dynamic Colors
Is there a way to create custom dynamic colors for WiZ Lights? I would like to create one for Halloween and Xmas times. I came across this repo https://github.com/10xJSChad/BulbScript-for-Wiz-Lights. However I am not sure how it can be integrated with Home Assistant.

Create custom dynamic color schemes
Advanced scripting and customizations with Wiz isn’t great. If you want the best the smart lighting has to offer you’ll need to get Hue, which for many of us is out of the budget. However, see if this Python script script can do what you’re asking (it’s from an earlier post here, but here’s the direct link to GitHub repo): https://github.com/10xJSChad/BulbScript-for-Wiz-Lights
