Hue Bridge 2.0 HomeKit Problem

I got the bridge 2.0 and set it up and all worked ok.

Now siri does not work any more. When I try to set up again, i get the message:

"Another user already paired the HomeKit enabled bridge. Please ask the user to share his / her home kit settings in order for you to start using Siri voice control"

I checked online and philips page said to log out of iCloud and try again. But when I do that, it says to log into keychain. So I log back into iCloud and enable keychain but then I get the same original message as above.

Anyone know what's going on?

Poor support on this, I have the same issue, I expected to get this fixed moreover the original post was from October. I am lucky as at least the hub is working with Siri with 1 of my IOS devices, no way to get this working with my wife's Iphone 6... she is happy with the domotic 😟..... I tried today turn off the lights outside the network (with apple tv support), no way to get that working, finally I got back to the house and switched off that manually.

I work on software development, and here is clear the poor testing from Phillips, and the poor "Homekit" @certified.... by apple. This is the issue developing their own "standard". We should be for apple/phillips "early adopters" playing with a Beta.

Totally agree. I've given up now and really disappointed with he lack of any official fix to this issue. It's like they are sweeping things under the rug.

I won't be going down the Home Kit route thats for sure. In fact I'm going to let this whole automation situation play out until there is a clear standard.

PROBLEM SOLVED QUICKLY AND EASILY!

After reading all these posts, I came across this link on the Hue website: http://labs.meethue.com/support/siri-homekit

It enables you to quickly reset the HomeKit without any programming and without loss of the Bridge settings. It took less that 5 minutes. I don't understand why this solution isn't more widely known.

Thank you!

Very glad that there is a solution now. Voice control in the Hue app is working again by using the link provided.

The "reset home kit configuration" is a temporary fix. I think there might be a hardware problem with the Hue 2.0 hub, because I have multiple HomeKit devices that all work flawlessly with the exception of my Hue 2.0 Hub.

Either I'm dreaming or iOS 9.3 just fixed this problem on my iPhone.

No luck with iOS 9.3 update here. 😟

I have both my iPad and my iPhone on the same iCloud account. Pre-update, only the iPad was working for voice control - the iPhone would hang on iCloud syncing if i recall correctly.

i updated the phone first to 9.3, tried voice control, and it worked after reentering the password.

I then updated the iPad to 9.3, and voice control continues to work on both.

Heres the answer. It's very easy and fast.
