Using Hue lightstrip w/o bridge

Hey guys
I am planning on “smartifying” a couple of lights (or light scenes) with zigbee products and a raspberry as a bridge. For the tv ambilight however it seems as I have to go for Phillips Hue and their gradient lightstrip, as I haven’t heard of any other competetive system.
Now my question: Is there a way to use hue sync products (e.g. gradient lightstrip or playbar) with zigbee2mqtt and without a hue bridge? Especially since you would configure the ambilight behaviour via the hue app…?!

Any help appreciated
