Are you integrating sonoff into a hue system?
I'm running Homeassistant - I use the Hue bridge as a dumb bridge for Hue (and Innr) bulbs just now, with HA doing the majority of the controlling.
Any Sonoff devices are being controlled by MQTT (currently embedded in HA, but soon to be a separate broker server).

How is Home Assistant?
And isn't the Hue bridge always doing the controlling? I thought the way this works is that ultimately the Hue bridge is the controller but one can use other apps to orchestrate that control... i.e. it's the Hue bridge that controls the bulbs via Zigbee, but you can use any number of apps (inc Home Assistant) to orchestrate the Hue bridge beyond it's capabilities.
The only thing that made me hesitate to install Home Assistant is just that... that for something like the Hive heating, Home Assistant is still relying on the public internet APIs and so it's not like we've gained isolated control locally... all we'll have gained is centralised orchestration, and I'm still split on whether that is important.

Most of my home has hue bulbs, but haven't bought any switches as they are so damn ugly.
I've read that hue will be introducing 'friends of hue' light switches manufactured by companies that specialise in lighting control.

Still isn't a proper wired solution, you'd still have to blank off your switches or install key switches.
