Any way to control Zigbee devices connected to Echo Plus?

I have an Echo Plus controlling some Sylvania bulbs and would like to incorporate a few other Zigbee devices I have on hand. I realize the Zigbee issue has been beat to death here, but I'm wondering if there's a way to use the Alexa-Hue Bridge plugin to effect control? (I'm admittedly ignorant on use of this plugin.)

Thanks!

No, the bridge (from that respect) is one-way - it presents Indigo devices as Hue devices to the Echo for control, but it can't present devicesin the Echo as devices Indigo can control. In fact, even an Alexa Skill which would natively connect Indigo to Alexa wouldn't be able to do that - it's just not how it works (at the moment and likely it never will).
