Philips Hue and Inovelli Blue: What hub to buy? (alien.top)

Sorry if this question gets asked a lot but I can't seem to find the answer. I purchased 10 Inovelli blue 2-1 switches to control all of the Philips hue lights in my house. I just realized the Inovelli switches aren't compatible with the Hue bridge. My question is what bridge do I need to purchase in order to use the switches to control multiple Hue lights and also be able to control scenes throughout the house? Also, is there a different android app I would need to control the bulbs after I switch hubs?

Thank in advance.

This.

I’ve moved from ST to HE but both would work well to accomplish what you want.
