« Home hub required » after upgrading Home.

Hi, I have a Hue bridge connected to few lights around my house and wasn’t using any home hubs (even tho I could on my iPad)

Since I’ve upgraded to the new Home architecture I just got more issues from there.. I couldn’t control anything from my MacBook (running Big Sur) and also couldn’t share the control of the home.

I was told to have a home hub so I tried to configure my iPad as is. But there wasn’t an option to do so…

I’ve tried to delete the home and create it from the MacBook running Big Sur but it wouldn’t sync with any device running iOS/iPadOS 17 neither WatchOS 10.

Now when I tried to reconfigure the Bridge for the home app I got a message telling me I need a home hub. But I couldn’t configure my iPad to be one.

Now I can’t control light from my Home app neither from the control center. Please help!
