Adding a 'Hue Smart Button' switch messes up other Hue sensors operation in Homekit!

Adding a 'Hue Smart Button' switch to my Home configuration messes up the working of all the other 'Hue movement sensors' in my home. None of them reacted anymore to movement even after a complete rebuild of the Homekit config. After deleting the Hue Smart Button everything started working again. Is that a known problem in Homekit and Hue setup?

Home Architecture Upgrade breaks Hue Motion Sensor automations After doing the Home Architecture Upgrade, all automations triggered by Hue Motion Sensors are failing to execute. I tried deleting and re-creating one, and discovered that Homekit is confused between the motion-detected event and the temperature-changed event. Anyone else seeing this and know a solution?

Meross Smart Outdoor Plug "No Response" in HomeKit but Meross app works just fine So I have two of these in operation. One is responsive in the HomeKit app but the other isn't. I've reset it a dozen times (and actually bought a new one because I thought the old one faulty). It's weird that one works with HomeKit (set up some time ago) but a new reset one doesn't. I've had to resort to setting this second one up and managing it via the Meross app and it is responsive via that app. Obviously I would prefer to have everything managed from one app, HomeKit. Ideas?

Hue lights are not showing up in HomeKit since iOS 17 I have dozens of Philips Hue lights and motion sensors. They work fine in the Hue app. If I tell the Hue app to configure them in HomeKit, the Hue app notes that the sensors are being configured in another app, but neither the sensors nor the lights show up in the Home app on my iOS devices. I've done this in the past without problem, but since installing iOS 17, it hasn't worked. Any clues? Thanks!
