Pretty much what @chack and @BertABCD1234 said. The linked reference may be a bit out of date due to firmware changes:
1 - Red dimmers and switches are Zwave and Hue is Zigbee, so you are not going to directly control Hue bulbs via the switch. Instead, you will create scenes for the various dim levels and colors, and then use the multi-tap scene sending capability of the switch to trigger the scene.
2 - Ensure your switch/dimmer is in the smart bulb mode so that the bulb is constantly powered. You do not want the switch cutting power to the bulb(s) and you do not want the dimmer producing less than full output or directly controlling the bulb at all.
3 - The “resistor thingy” you referred to is called a Bypass.
If you seriously want to sell your switches and dimmers, people here will beat down the doors to buy them. See this thread and section:
