Fixed: Accidentally Clicked Remove From Home View in the Climate Category View - Gone Forever
Original (closed) question: Accidentally Clicked Remove From Home Vie… - Apple Community
In the Home App I was on the Home view. I clicked the Climate category. Then I accidentally clicked Remove From Home View on my thermostat. The thermostat no longer shows up under Climate. It is still on the top level Home view. There appears to be a separate setting for an accessory to be in the Climate category of the Home view vs the regular Home view.
I have tried going into the thermostat Accessory Settings and turning off Add to Home View, quitting the app, launching Home again and turning Add to Home View back on. But, it is still missing from the Climate Home view.
I have a bunch of scenes and automations that include the thermostat and do not. want to have to set them all back up again if I remove and re-add the thermostat from HomeKit.
Fix:
I revisited this today (after the iOS 26 release) and found a solution. This probably would have worked on iOS 18.
