How can I remove duplicate lamps from Philips Hue in Apple Home?

I had to replace my Philips Hue hub. I entered all 49 lamps back into Hue hub. Now when I link Hie to home app I have duplicate lamps and no option to remove them. This is crazy.

all homekit scenes delete themselves almost monthly please help, its such a waste of time setting up all my scenes again and again, especially since this has happened to me almost 10 times at this point, a few times they even deleted only a couple days after re-setting them all up again. how are you guys dealing with this? if i could edit all the lights at once, like the color or intensity of all the lights at once, then i could at least deal with that, but im left having to individually control all the lights manually, its so frustrating. i cant return all my smart bulbs at this point. This is unusable. I'm using a macbook and an iphone interchangeably to control homekit. Everything is up to date.

Homekit and Philips hue connection: only rooms show up, not the lights I’m having a problem connecting Philips hue and HomeKit. I’m able to associate them correctly, but then on the HomeKit app only the rooms show up, not the lights. I have a couple of lights in all three rooms, I can se the rooms on HomeKit but not the lights. I tried updating everything and resetting both apps, but nothing seems to work…

Home Kit and Matter I've been running HomeKit for my lights, thermostats, and cameras for the past 3 years. While not exactly perfect, it works pretty well and I love the automation and scenes I can create. A couple of weeks ago, I made the TERRIBLE mistake upgrading the Philips-Hue lights to use Matter on HomeKit and now NOTHING works. I have lost Adaptive Lighting, which is so critical since I live on a wooded lot. The lights do not turn on with the same color or brightness even though "last on" is selected on the Hue App. The automations and scenes also don't turn on or adjust the lights consistently with what is indicated in the automation or scene. Matter is absolute trash. I would like to find a way to bypass Matter and reset up the home. While I'm not looking forward to setting up everything again it would be worth it not to deal with the gltichy-ness of Matter. Anyone have any tips on how I can do this?

To you to remove any devices connected to “Home”

long-press the device you want to remove and click on Accessory Settings, then just scroll up until you see the option “Remove Accessory”

The remove accessory button does not display in the normal area at the bottom of device settings.
