Each Philips Hue Bridge supports up to 50 devices. While 50 devices may sound like a lot, it's a limit that more and more users are criticizing as the Hue ecosystem expands. To make matters worse, Philips Hue also only allowed people to have one network bridge connected to their account. So if you hit the 50-device limit and added a second Bridge to your setup, you had to link that Bridge to the new account. The two bridges would effectively be separate from each other, making it more difficult to set up your smart home. The only way around this limitation is to control all your Philips Hue accessories through the Apple Home app, where you can HomeKitu connect multiple Hue network bridges.

In an updated post on its website, Philips Hue states that support for controlling multiple bridges with a single account will be available later this year. However, there are still many unknowns about how exactly Philips Hue will implement this feature. However, it is undoubtedly a step in the right direction that solves an increasingly common problem in the smart home.
Considering that the current Bridge is 8 years old, Philips should also consider a new generation Bridge and increase the number of devices to one hub. Even such a Hub for Aqara already handles 128 devices.
