New iOS 14 widgets and Siri Shortcuts were added recently in Hue Essentials version 1.17.0. At the moment there is a temperature widget available and you can add Siri Shortcuts widgets for actions like toggling lights or activating scenes.
See for more information: How can I add widgets to my Home screen?

Due to limitations in the new iOS 14 widgets they must open the app when clicked. That would not work very well for action widgets. Widgets through Siri Shortcuts do not open the app. So now you need to use Siri Shortcuts for action widgets.
Let me know if you have any questions.
