The Bridge Pro is Hue's higher-capacity bridge: Zigbee to the lights, Ethernet to your network, and a Matter bridge that Home Assistant can pair with. It doesn't add Thread. I haven't run this one; the notes come from Philips Hue's US product page and Matter Survey data.
Standout: Hue's larger bridge, rated for 150+ lights, that bridges Hue's Zigbee lights and accessories into Matter.

Local control facts
Home Assistant: matter integration, Local Push (home-assistant.io, checked Nov 7, 2026)
brings Hue lights and accessories into Matter, which Matter Survey shows as switches, motion, light and temperature sensors in Home Assistant installs
MotionAware turns compatible Hue lights into motion sensors
Reasons to hesitate
Matter Survey shows no group control through its Matter side, so Home Assistant addresses each light separately over Matter
Hue doesn't list Thread for it, so it isn't a Thread border router
moving from an older Hue Bridge is a separate migration, and reviewers on Hue's page report mixed results
Best for
large Hue installs that are near the older bridge's limits
Home Assistant users who want Hue lights and sensors on Matter alongside other ecosystems
Avoid if
you run Hue bulbs on your own Zigbee coordinator and don't use a Hue bridge
you were hoping for a Thread border router
Privacy and local-control notes
The bridge talks to Hue lights over Zigbee and exposes them to Home Assistant over Matter on your local network. Out-of-home control through the Hue app goes through Hue's servers.
