All Hue lights moved to one room in HomeKit

Hello Appleuser4141,

If you open the app and long press(Haptic Touch) on the bulb you will get a pop-up option that says Accessory Settings. When you press that, a pop-up menu will appear saying the name of the hue bulb/light and the room its in. Press the room in orange and change it. Let me know if this works. :)

This has happened to me twice in the space of a couple of weeks: all Hue devices suddenly set to the room assigned to the Hue bridge. The first time I reassigned the lights back to the correct rooms - 43 lights and 3 smart plugs, so about a 10 - 15 min monotonous process, I think - not something I care to do every couple of weeks.

some other data points:

• Eve light switches using Matter are still assigned to the correct rooms in Homekit.
• Lutron Caseta light switches (I don't think the Lutron bridge uses Matter) are still assigned to the correct rooms in Homekit.
• Amazon Echo devices did not lose Hue light/switch room assignments .

I think the problem seems to be specifically a Hue-to-Homekit issue, but I'm not sure whether Apple or Signify is is to blame.

This has been happening to me too I thought it was fixed with the latest update but it happened again. Theres no way to sync the rooms. I’ve tried turning off iCloud sync on all my devices. Correcting the misplaced devices and turning on sync. That did nothing. Have you recently added a new device to your Apple account? I have a feeling my Vision Pro is causing the problem as it only happens after I’ve used the Vision Pro. I’ve even turn off home data on Vision Pro. My next idea is to delete the app for Vision Pro.

Same thing has been happening with all my Hue lights: all move to the room the with bridge. Has happened multiple times since the beginning of the year. I've moved lights back to rooms, I've deleted the home in Homekit and then synced through the Hues app, which I did last time. It held for a several weeks but now last night they all moved back to the room with the bridge. Move everything manually to appropriate room but today everything is back in one room. Extremely annoying and frustrating. Doesn't seem Philips or Apple want to own up to this and help everyone out.

I'm struggling with this too. Although its not every item and its becoming less and less but about 10 items total as of now and happening less frequently. My items that move are only items that have a bridge (Hue, Aqara and Eufy) and all the items move to the room with the bridge. Not sure how to fix it. Im going to try restarting all hubs, bridges, as well as my router and modem. I've tried factory resets on my bridge, removing devices and repairing them with both the bridge and the Home app. Nothing has worked. Very frustrating.

I dealing with same issue. 35 lights all moved to same room. This has happened several times in the last month. I removed from homekit and added through the Hue app and also through Homekit with same frustrating results. Sync is not available and I tried resetting back to pre-Matter to no avail.

I believe it's only happening with bridged devices. I have Hue lights, Nanoleaf, Aqara, Lifx, Eve, and several others. Only one of my hue bulbs has moved, I'm more having trouble with Aqara devices (also bridged).

Did you completely miss the OP's (and everyone else's issue)? The problem is the hue lights moving en masse out of their assigned room and into the room with the bridge, despite having the correct room.

It is almost certainly an issue of Apple not reading the right field on the JSON list coming from Hue.

Same here. Same setup as OP. Lots of hue bulbs, plus a number of Lutron switches. There USED to be a "Sync to HomeKit" (or similar) button in the Hue app within the Apple Home area of Smart Home which you could press after adding new lights and they would then sync into the correct room in the HomeKit app, but now I don't see that button anywhere, and am having the same issue as OP and others.

I have this same issue. Started happening in the last couple of months and has happened 4 times in total. All my Phillips hue lights / accessories move to my living room. And lose the grouping they were in. Very frustrating

For me items get moved to the room with the bridge. A fix would be to have a bridge in every room and only pair that rooms items to its bridge. Can anyone else confirm the devices are movie to the room with the bridge? If your hue devices are moving are they moving to the room with the hue bridge?

I have exactly the same issue, it seemed to be triggered due to a reboot of the philips hue hub, I have hubs from aqara, netatmo, somfy and I only have issues with the Philips hue Bridge.

Hue was for me the most reliable hub for the past few years but since the matter update it's been the least reliable. What a shame.

Anyone that has a solution feel free to share.

I do have my suspicion that it may be caused by the Apple sides of things.

Mine was fine until yesterday then went again!

Getting the hue switches reprogrammed is the annoying part, have to delete and completely re-add again and then HomeKit doesn’t recognise the correct number of buttons for me. The other bottoms generally then appear a few days later!

Same issue. All my lights reset to the living room today. A fix would be greatly appreciated.

Mine are moving to the living room which is where my bridge is located.
