2 hue bridges on Apple Home App

Dear Forum,

I see many posts telling me i can have 2 Hue Bridges on Apple Home App but i dont see how to do it?

My Hue app has the 2, but you can only have 1 selected at a time. The first connected seems to sync with Home App.

Any ideas how? Or do i need another Hue App to draw them together?

HomeKit and Second Phillips Hue Bridge Does anyone know how to add a 2nd Phillips Hue bridge to Homekit? My first bridge is using my Apple account. My second bridge is on a google account. When I go to the first bridge in the Hue app, I go to Settings>HomeKit and Siri>Advanced>Homes>Other Homes (Upstairs)>Share Home> Then it tells me I can only share with another Apple account. But I had to put the 2nd Hue bridge on a Google account because my first Hue bridge is already on my 1st Hue bridge. Is there no way to add the second bridge unless I have two Apple accounts? thanks,

Homekit App/Hue The Philips Hue app has dynamic scene changes - superb. When you export these to HomeKit you only have the specific static colours, no time line change for dynamic scenes. My question to Apple is: Will HomeKit eventually allow you to have dynamic scenes? I tend to use SIRI (a bit dumb and limited and hit and miss I know....) to activate lighting and I would rather do this than get a device, load the Philips Hue App, just to have a dynamic lighting scene! Plus the Philips Hue App has a really nice interface, very intuitive. Pity it cannot be amalgamated in HomeKit. Cheers, stay safe
