The Philips hue API has an API call to search for new lights (bulbs). A description of the API call that does this can be found here:

If you are ok with replacing the hue bridge with Raspberry Pi, you can also try kappa.io. It contains API's to control Philips Hue bulbs and all other ZHA/ZLL bulbs.

You can give a quick try by using the pre-built images, which out-of-box allows you to do things such as changing color, brightness, on/off, add, delete. It also let you factory reset the bulbs.
