Can you pair a switch direct to a bulb using the hubitat?
I set a basic rule on the Hubitat to turn on a light via an on/off switch, it took .005 seconds locally and still updates Indigo as to the changes.

But even using the Hubitat Switch and turning on an Indigo Hue bulb via Nathan's Hue plugin and Jon's Hubitat plugin it was instant so I really don't feel the need to add extra code in Hubitat, it is just the freedom to use Zigbee devices and also add some Z-Wave devices that are 'slow' to get an Indigo device driver that makes it so appealing to me.
You can add multiple Hubs to the system so the number of Z-Wave devices becomes huge, add extra Hubs to the garage or garden shed or other places Z-Wave is patchy as long as you have power and networking available.
