For a direct control of Hue bulbs, I would recommend this new driver : [RELEASE] Philips Hue Zigbee Driver (not using Hue Bridge). Just make sure the bulbs are never physically powered off.
I personally use a Hue bridge and the community CoCoHue app to control all of my Zigbee bulbs.
The best way to install the driver is via Hubitat Package Manager ( similar to Home Assistant HACS ).
