How can I move accessories from one home to another in the Home app?

I have 2 homes in the app. When I added 2 ceiling fans, they showed up under the wrong home. Is there a simple way to move them, as opposed to deleting them and trying to add them again?

How to remove Home accessory from Control Center? An accessory of the Home app that is in Control Center doesn't work, although the accessory works in the Home app and a shortcut to the accessory and a widget to the accessory all work. How do I fix that accessory in Control center or remove it from control center. Also, when I remove Home from Control Center by removing Home from the Settings for Control Center in Settings, neither the accessory or Home is removed from Control Center.

New rooms not showing up in Homekit I've been adding new rooms too my Apple Home app, and they are not showing up on the My Home page, although they do show up if I click on the More button (the top right button with three dots). I could live with this, but it means that I cannot select any accessories in that room when I go to create a New Automation in the Shortcut app. The new rooms also do not show up in the Home app on either my iPad or Mac. I spent an hour on the phone with a very nice lady at Apple support, but she didn't know anything about the Home app. Does anyone have a suggestions on how to fix this? I have rebooted numerous times, as well as signing out of my Apple account then back in. As a further data point, I can see those rooms in the third part app Controller for HomeKit also (I created the rooms in the Apple Home app). I guess I could move those accessories to a room that I can get to show up in the My Home page, but I shouldn't have to do that.

Apple Home: rooms missing from Home view Duplicating an earlier question about why a room showed in the rooms list, but not the home view. I figured this out, it happens when there are no accessories in the room that are set to show in the home view. Edit the accessories and move the slider to Add to Home View.

It doesn’t appear you can. You will need to remove the accessory and add it to the other Home
