The new bridge does everything promised but it was no small task to get it there. After following the direction very closely, I was able to swap out the bridge and transfer the lights without an issue. The problems started went I tried activating Siri with the Bridge. Apparently the Apple HomeKit was already activated through one of the Apple updates and it needed to be cleared out for the bridge to be recognized. Additionally I had to delete and download again, the Hue app on my phone. But having got past all that, the bridge and the voice control work great.

Is this the bridge version that works with Siri commands?
I read in the overview that voice commands were a possibility but additional Hue products (sold separately) were required. Does anyone know the details?
