Apple Home app resets all devices to off upon opening, making it unusable

I am/was an enthusiastic, happy Home app user from the beginning. I use primarily Hue lights, sensors and some other brand devices (Netatmo, Eve, Fibaro,...). All my Apple hard/software(Macs, Ipads, iPhones, Watches, AppleTV+s,...) are up to date.

My problem still is that when I only open the Home app it starts with resetting everything, so all lights/devices switch off, quite annoying. Also the adaptive lighting feature, I tried max to disable it, nevertheless it does everything wrong and works against my goals but I can't control it. My previous question was disabled because of lack of follow up. Vancouver22(thanks) suggested to switch to the Hue app instead of using Home app but I and my family are so used to the Apple Home for years now that I am still trying to make it work in Apple Home.

Am I the only one with that trouble? Any more suggestions? Help!!
