Yeah, but good luck getting the bulbs updated when using a bridge and app from a different vendor...

It works perfectly fine. The OTA protocol is completely vendor-agnostic.

For example, I have Halo fire alarms that are using ZigBee. The company that produced them no longer exists, but I have several spares. I've recently installed a new one to replace an alarm that was damaged by contractors, and its firmware got updated automatically by my hub.
