No help with the bulbs, but wanted to acknowledge the gorgeous pupper in your profile pic. I have three.

Just want to point out that Sengled also makes Bluetooth mesh bulbs that will work with Alexa (but not Hubitat), so are you 100% certain they are the ZigBee model?

Anyway... on topic. Yes if those are the bulbs you have it sounds like they are the correct Zigbee versions that can work on Hubitat. I only have some BT ones I got super cheap and I also agree with others they are not easy to reset. I had to take them out of the fan they were in and put them in a bathroom fixture so I could cut them on and off quickly.
You should be able to pair them up in another fixture if that makes it easier, and then move them to the correct locations afterwards. I only have a few zigbee devices but they have been super easy to pair for me.
Also you said they are in a fan thats connected to a Bond system, does that fan have the ability to dim normal bulbs? If it does, that feature should be disabled if you can, dimming the smart bulbs externally on accident would make them not work correctly, or ruin them.
ok FINALLY got my "regular" fixture & reset them all successfully, i think- bulbs blinked 5xs then went rgb, now to link thru hubitat how do i? my zigbee hub is thru my show 10 or studio, but i think my aqara camera hub g3 also has hub along with samsung tv.
all my other devices on same inside connection:
zigbee powerstrip (? brand but goes thru smartlife)
ceiling fan (lights r the zigbee, fan is b4 smart thru bond)
google hub max
nest cam battery
bond bridge
somfry horizontal blinds (b4 smart thru bond)
handicap door opener (thru Tuya app)
side gate opener (mighty mule)
kitchen lights & fan (b4 smart thru bond)
these r on wifi extender outside:
backyard lights (atomi)
backyard cam (? brand, cloudedge app)
now GETTING ALL THESE IN HUBITAT CONFUSE ME, sum dont register as brand or find app so then what?
ys that? the doggy porn? lol smh

omg I didnt even think bout bathroom duuuuh brain fart, i just ordered cheapy lil desk lamp, i think i just got reset cuz they r rgb now, ya i dont quite understand zigbee except the way it was explained 2 me is without oiwer u still have power
You have a good mishmash... Lets break each one down... A lot of your stuff is wifi and cannot be run locally and will require an integration (if one even exists) for that product.
Can be used for TTS. Install the built in chromecast integration
You need to install the nest API. Read this thread [RELEASE] Google SDM API - Nest integration
This should pair directly to hubitat. (It will need to be factory reset first).
I would use a smart switch with smart bulb capability to control the lights. Use the built in bond integration to control the fan and anything else connected to the bond bridge.
Is this wifi or zigbee? If wifi there is a community built tuya cloud integration available in hubitat package manager.
Likely need someone to build an integration if an API is available. Ir if you could rig a dry contact
No clue

ok so i think i pulled a dumb blonde, in order 2 use each bulb individually (i have 3 in ceiling fan, do i have 2 pair each 1 @ time? (not screw all in, but rather 1...find, connect & reapet?) if so looks like ill b resetting again?
Not sure what you're asking. Some of your sentence structure isn't making sense to me. (No offense)

You need to pair each bulb if thats what you are asking.. you don't have to reset the one you already added, just add/reset the other ones. To control all of them at once in
a fixture use the built-in groups and scenes app.

my bad, i get alot & no my skins so thick u can call me out my name( b****) & wont take offence but what i was moaning about is....

It's easier if you use normal sentence structure instead of internet shorthand. It makes it easier to communicate especially with a lot of people on here where English isn't their first language. The short hand makes it a problem to decode.
Sorry, I am educated, just lazy cuz hands don't work well, NEways inorder 2 keep hubitat running in power/internet outage do I need battery backup?
I'm just now feeling better, I had a nasty bug, so I have only connected my zigbee lights 2 hubitat- I did individually-they SEEM 2 work, except sumtimes 1 is on others r off its strange, but I did read sumthing about letting them do Thang b4 automation but I haven't automated nothing am I stupid? Lol
To keep the hub running during a momentary power blip, or longer power outage, yes you would need an uninterruptible power supply (aka a UPS). Keep in mind your other network equipment like router and switch should also be on a UPS, as well as a desktop computer if you use one.
And of course any end devices that are plugged in or hardwired, like your bulbs, won’t work during a power outage. That could create some problems even for battery powered devices, if they normally route messages through the mains powered repeating devices in a zigbee/z-wave mesh.
If your internet is out for some reason other than you’ve lost power, then the UPS would not come into play. Hubitat will continue working through an internet outage, but any cloud-based features or integrations will not work until internet service is restored.
