Deleted Homekit scenes still are active

I had 2 scenes that I recently deleted. One was “window candles on” the other “window candles off”. The “on” scene would turn on the candles at sunset and the “off” scene would turn them off at 11PM, and this worked as planned. When it was time to take the candles out of the windows, I deleted both scenes so the HomeKit receptacles would not be active anymore but I just noticed the other evening that they actually are live during the scheduled time of the deleted scene. The scenes do not show up on any of our devices, but still are active.

thanks in advance for any info!

Delete your home or remove accessories

To remove an accessory from the Home app:

  • On your iOS device: Press and hold an accessory, tap Settings, then scroll to the bottom and tap Remove Accessory.
  • On your Mac: Double-click an accessory, click Settings, then scroll down and click Remove Accessory.


Remove individual accessories connected to a bridge, like the Philips Hue Bridge, using the bridge manufacturer's app. To remove every accessory connected to a bridge, go to the Home app, tap Home Settings > Hubs & Bridges and choose the bridge that you want to remove. 


If you remove your home from the Home app, all of its data, like accessories, scenes, automations, and people you’ve invited to control your home, will be deleted. You’ll also need to reset each of your accessories before you can set them up again. To reset your accessory, look for a button on the accessory, check its manual, or contact the manufacturer.


To delete your Home and all of its data from the Home app:

  • On your iOS device: Tap  in the upper-left corner, then scroll to the bottom and tap Remove Home.
  • On your Mac: Go to Edit > Edit Home, then scroll to the bottom and click Remove Home.
