Like many Philps Hue users, I have exceeded the number of Hue bulbs, light-strips, dimmers, etc. that they allow connected to a single bridge and have opted for a 2nd one. They work fine, but Hue now allows multiple bridges to be combined and managed in one account.
I'd like to do that for several reasons, but I'm concerned about the impact on Hue devices on my Hubitat C8.
Has anyone done this yet? And if so, what happens to the Hue devices that are merged from a secondary account, into the primary? Meaning, what happens in the Hubitat device list?
Any input is appreciated.

There shouldn't be any concerns for Hubitat. It's really just letting you add more than one Hue Bridge to the same Hue account and have them show up as the same "home" in the Hue app, but they're still two separate bridges with two separate Zigbee networks. With or without doing this, the way to add multiple Hue Bridges to Hubitat is to add multiple instances of the Hue integration, one for each Bridge. (There might be other possibilities for this if they ever figure out something like how to integrate multiple Bridges to Alexa and similar, something you still can't do, even with this new feature -- but that's just conjecture.)
