Was fascinated by the review by Craig Moore on the Amazon Echo Plus:
https://www.amazon.com/All-new-Echo-Plus-2nd-built/dp/B0794W1SKP?th=1
He mentions a difference between Zigbee and Z-Wave. and that the Phillips Hue lights do some things, but not other things unless there is a Phillips Hue hub.
My thought is that there appears to be no need to have more than a single Z-Wave hub because the individual devices 'mesh' with each other. Have no idea what happens if there are 4 hubs in a single house.
My guess is that Orbi has zero to do with the problem. All my lights being only one color (Daylight white) and at maximum brightness, I lack any competence with "Hue".

thank you for taking a minute Crimp!
Your thinking I should start by removing 2 of the 3 echo plus's so I have only one z-wave bridge?
