Home renamed 20+ Hue bulbs to Hue Bridges. It didn't change all the Hue bulbs in the house just random selections from various rooms. I can't change/edit the devices back to lights as home thinks they all are Hue bridges. Everything looks and works normal on the Hue App and I can control the lights as they should be. It seems like Home went berserk at some point. I noticed it last night as the home automations didn't work correctly. Some rooms only turned on a couple of lights and left others off. That's what caught my attention. We've been running the setup for years without anything like this happening. I'm not sure what my next steps are other than asking for help. [Edited by Moderator]

I can't remove Matter Nanoleaf Lightbulb from my home. The lightbulb in question stopped working as it should after an update. I thought removing it and then adding it again to Home would work, but it didn't. I then followed all the steps from Nanoleaf regarding a factory reset and tried re-adding the light to Home. Before I attempted to re-add the light, it shows as a nearby device. When I attempt to re-add the light to Home (after previously removing it) I get a "Device already exists in Home" error. I can't delete the device from Home. Now I have a light that I can only use with the Nanoleaf app - with no voice control or automation. I have many devices from many manufacturers with many scenes and automations, so I hope deleting my Home isn't the only solution.
