iOS13 HomeKit, ungroup sensors

In iOS13, all accessories with multiple sensors are grouped. This means that you can no longer see the values in eg Apple Watch. (Nothing happens when you press the group). How do you ungroup these accessories so that each sensor gets its own button in iOS13?

This change to iOS 13 has really messed up my access to some HomeKit accessories. IDevices Wall outlet, now has group accessories and is labeled as a Power Strip...it is not a power strip, it is a dual remote controlled outlet, and I have to go into The grouping as if it was navigating into a room, to individually turn off or on the individual outlets. It is very frustrating. There must be a way to ungroup this?? and !!!

Same problem here, I used to have just the temperature tile in my favorites to see the temp in the room at a glance. Now it's grouped with humidity and I have to open the sensor card to see the value. And same problem with the dual iDevices outlet. I used to turn on the fan on one outlet or the light on the other with just one tap, now I have to open the outlet card to see both devices inside. Unnecessary extra step that doesn't add anything to ergonomics. Apple should've included the option to ungroup these devices for those of us that preferred the ios 12 homekit interface.
