Adding more lights to HomeKit Adaptive Lighting

When I set up the adaptive lighting I only selected one of my hue lights to be included. Now I’d like to add a couple more lights that I didn’t originally select. I cannot find an option to add them. Only the originally selected light has the adaptive lighting color option, the other 2 do not. They are all the same model lights and same firmware. Does anyone know how to add them/edit the adaptive light inclusion list?

Hi Eric Suarez,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're trying to add additional lights to your Adaptive Lighting after setting this up. We'd like to help!


From what you've described, you should be able to add lights by following these steps:


Add a HomeKit accessory to the Home app


Hope that helps!

Hey Matthew,


I have the same "issue" but I already have added all the lights.

Your solution is to remove one light in order to get the setup for adaptive lightning notification again.

But I only want to edit the existing list. Hopefully not by removing one or more lights.

When I first setup the adaptive lightning list on my iPhone, next time I was lucky by opening the Home app on my mac to get the popup once again. But now I have used this "first try" on all of my devices. Now I have no longer the opportunity to "edit" the list.

... this is frustrating :(
