HomeKit Lights Turn on at 1%

Some things for you to try

• make sure your software is up to date on your iOS device.
• Unplug the .hue .bridge for 10 seconds
• reboot your wifi router

on your iOS device:

1. Go into the Settings app under Privacy > HomeKit.
2. Toggle to the off position Hue.
3. Restart your iOS device. (until the Apple logo appears)
4. Once your device is back online, go back into in the page mentioned above and toggle Hue to the on position.

I tried some Home App scenes and didn’t like them. When they came on, they were all too dim

In the Hue App , each bulb has “power on behaviour” you can set to return to what it was when it went off. This works in power outages but isn’t as good in homekit, I find. Might work for yours though.

EDIT:

It might work better if you create the automations in the Hue App itself

I find the Hue app to be a lot more reliable. You’d still be able to use the home app from your iOS device, it will all sync from the Hue app to the home app. Just saying it's better for setting it all up. It actually tells you if it’s not syncing on something. A little notification pops up on the Hue app saying there’s a mismatch and would you like to update it, you click yes and viola it’s all fixed

in the Hue App - settings - in iOS Automation- Siri Homekit

Hmmm I wonder why it’s doing that, unless they are new bulbs, they tend to need a software update right away. I’m using the Hue colour ambience for more control over the tones and brightness levels. I think you can only use up to 50 bulbs per bridge.

I only use the Home app for when leaving and arriving home as I find the hue app better for setting routines up
