I'm using Philips Hue in Hubitat via the inbuilt Hue Bridge integration and I also run the Hubitat Homekit integration to control all my Hubitat devices via the Apple Home app. For controlling the Hue devices in the Home app I could do that via the Hubitat Homekit integration or I could link Hue to my Home app. Is there a preference to doing it one way or the other? My guess is it might be better to link Hue to Home directly so I've got control of Hue lights in Home when Hubitat is down (reboots, updates etc). Any thoughts? Thanks
No "wrong" way, but I prefer using Hue directly to Home because it makes scenes a bit cleaner. At the time, it also did better with putting devices into rooms in Home automatically based on ones it knows about from Home/Siri and Hue, but I don't know if anything is different on Hubitat from when I last tried that (I don't think so).
Control via Home when rebooting the hub or whatnot is probably a nice bonus, but that particular concern is low on my list since most of my Home devices are Hubitat devices, and they won't work then, either. 
(Hue Dimmer devices and similar are my go-tos in these rare occasions, but I'll have to keep in mind that this could actually work, too!)
