The budget end of Hue strips: white-only, 3 m and well under £40. It is the sensible choice for under-cabinet or shelf accent lighting where you do not need colour. It still needs a Hue Bridge or Zigbee coordinator to control, so the saving is on the strip, not the system.
What can Home Assistant control on the Philips Hue Solo Lightstrip (3 m)?
Hue lights reach Home Assistant through the Hue Bridge and the core Hue integration, which is local; you can also pair Hue Zigbee devices to a Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA coordinator, but you lose Bridge-only features.
