Hue communicates locally without an internet connection.
The Hub does all of the work.
However the Hub may require an internet connection to be set up initially.
I do know from monitoring network traffic that once a Hue Hub is set up, that if you run the app on the same Local / Wi-Fi network that you can talk to the Hub and work the lights without the internet.
I'm unsure on the set-up though... because my internet was up when I configured it.

ok, I'm not totally up on all this stuff, so sorry if this is a stupid question -
Could you theoretically setup the Hue lights with the bridge / hub with your broadband line in connection at one location, then physically move them to a second location? (once setup)
Whereas LIFX you couldn't because it's requiring the network to carry the info, rather than a bridge?

Hue doesn't require internet access does it? I thought it built its own network just using the Router for distribution? Could you use a separate wireless router altogether? I'm not certain but I'm sure I have used a similar setup in live audio In ear monitoring?
