Yes! diyHue talks to your genuine Hue bridge to control Phillips Hue bulbs.
IKEA Tradfri bulbs can be controlled when paired with an IKEA hub. If you wish to use IKEA switches then you must use the Raspbee module. This will enable you to control both the IKEA lights and switches without an IKEA hub.
Not all apps for Phillips Hue work out of the box with diyHue. If you are unable to pair the app with diyHue automatically, try looking for a manual pair option in the app. If that fails then open an issue here on GitHub. We will try our best to to get your app to work but due to the lack of support for the remote API with diyHue, some apps will never work.
Google Assistant uses the remote API to find your Hue bridge. The remote API is not supported by diyHue. At the moment it looks like it never will. However, don't despair. There is an option to get it to work. Home Assistant is software used to provide a unified hub for all your smart devices. It has support for diyHue and Google Assistant, so you can import your diyHue lights into Home Assistant and use Google Assistant to control them via Home Assistant. There are plenty of instructions on the Home Assistant website however details on Phillips Hue with home assistant can be found here and details on Google Assistant here If you need more help, ask on our Slack chat or on the Home Assistant forums.
