Question about the Hue Component

I just wanted to know if I should add the my Hue lights to the UI or not because I have the newest Hue and I’m going to install HomeBridge. I believe it need to be activated through the UI to be able to control them in the UI and I guess I can hide them in homebridge. If I don’t use the component will I still beable to assign automation voice triggers using Mopidy for the lights or do I need to scan them in the UI Home Assistant so I can tag the lights or groups of lights.

Or does anybody who uses homekit have suggestions regarding how they use the component while having the new bridge within homekit.

Thanks :slight_smile:
