If the device count fits but some rooms are distant, distinguish network layout from raw capacity; Hue describes Zigbee mesh behavior and multi-Bridge setups as separate considerations. For migration, follow the manufacturer&#8217;s current migration instructions instead of assuming automations or scenes transfer identically.<\/p>\n<p>Keep the exact model code, region, and manual revision alongside any compatibility or maintenance decision. A family name alone may cover different configurations, accessories, radio bands, or instructions.<\/p>\n<h2>What these sources do not prove<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Manufacturer capacity counts do not guarantee radio coverage, response time, or reliable reach in a particular home layout.<\/li>\n<li>The page does not establish that 95% feature compatibility applies to every device revision; MotionAware compatibility and feature rollout must be checked for the exact hardware and software.<\/li>\n<li>This is a product-capacity reference, not an independent security audit, network survey, or installation test.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This page reports no hands-on testing, measured performance, independent rating, sample of customer reviews, or current market price or stock.
