How can I move an accessory from one “Home” to another “Home”

When adding my shades to HomeKit I inadvertently added them to a new Home, rather than to my existing Home. Is there a way to move them to my original Home?

Thanks,

Home App loses Scenes I often use the Home app on my several Apple devices to control my Hue lights. The scenes were created in the Hue and then imported from the Hue app to Home. This was done successfully a few months ago and worked as expected until last night. When I went to Home in my new iPhone 14 Pro Max, all the lights were there. The scenes disappeared on my iPhone as well as on my iPad Pro and MacBook Air. I did import several scenes once again from Hue. As of now they are in the Home app. All that has changed is that I purchased a new iPhone 14 Pro Max to replace my iPhone 12 Pro Max a week or so ago. I cannot recall if the scenes were available after I updated the new phone. My guess is that they were. More info would be appreciated. Thanks. Neal

HomeKit problem: I have added nanoleaf essenials lamps, but am unable to add more. How to I 'force' adding an accessory? iPhone 14 pro max, up to date. Home hubs up to date. Essentials devices all with latest firmware. A box of three essential lamps purchased from apple, only one of the three will install. For the others I get 'Unable to add accessory - pairing with accessory failed'. Having added a lamp, but being unable to add others, I am now baffled.

As far as I can tell the only method is to remove the accessory from one home, then set it up from scratch in the other.

I think you’re right. That worked.
