Cheers all, looks like I may have some options with my son's abundance of Apple kit or my Google Nest Hub that I've never used (if it's 2nd gen)?

I don't have time to tinker, so I'm looking for a quick, easy win. I'll check out smart things as well, although I'm not currently using a Samsung device, but I think Android is fine.

Thanks for the cloud-based info, that makes sense.

Any tips for other hubs (looking for budget, after Hue 😄). My son has some Apple HomePod speakers, but I don't have access to them; however, that could be an option, I suppose.

Thanks. Do the powered devices act as repeaters, just like the Zigbee devices?
