Factory reset may not be needed

Hey, a week ago in my spare time I started doing the same thing that you're doing. I am using different technologies (such as pygatt) but I see that we have started from the self-same resources.
During my own research I have noticed something that I have not found written anywhere, so I thought I would share it. If you open the Hue BT app, then go to Settings -> Voice Assistants -> [Pick one assistant] -> Click on "Make visible", then the bulb can be paired. At that point you will be able to control the bulb from both the smartphone and the pc.
I have only tested this on one bulb so I'm not sure how much it is reliable. If you can try it yourself, let me know
That's a great tip, thank you! I just tried it with my Hue Go (LCT026) and it works. Now both my Raspberry Pi and my computer are paired with the light, which makes debugging quite a bit easier.
