2 different users Siri working with Philips Hue Bridge

2 different iPhones with up to date software and different Apple IDs logged into Hue Bridge using the same username and password. Both phones can control lights.

When I then try to connect from the Hue App to the Home app the first phone connectsafter pressing the button on the hue bridge. Siri works fine controlling the lights. When I try to connect the second phone to its Home App pressing the button on the Hue Bridge does not work. Is it an iCloud account issue?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

Hello chrism0220,


It seems like you want to allow others to control accessories in your home, is that correct? If so, please check out the information in this link, which explains how to set that up, and may be helpful: Allow others to control accessories in your home


Allow others to control accessories in your home
In the Home app , you can invite other people to control your smart accessories. You and the people you invite need to be using iCloud and have iOS 11.2.5, iPadOS 13, or later. You also need to be at your home or have a home hub set up in your home.

Invite others to control accessories

1. On the Home tab, tap the More button, tap Home Settings, then tap Invite People.
2. Tap the Add button to choose people with an Apple ID from your contacts list, or enter their Apple ID email addresses in the To field.
3. Tap Send Invite.
4. Ask the invitee to do one of the following:

* In the notification: (iOS or iPadOS device) Tap Accept.
* In the Home app: (iOS or iPadOS device) Tap the More button, tap Home Settings, then tap their name.
* On Apple TV: Tap Show Me on Apple TV, then turn on one or more Apple TVs.


Thanks!
