If the Hue bridge sits on a different subnet, the Home app can’t discover the lights. I’ll check the router layout first and move any bridges onto the same network segment as the iPhone. Then I’ll pair the lights and thermostats through HomeKit, using the official Apple API in Objective C. A common pitfall is skipping the Home permission request, which leaves accessories invisible even after successful pairing. I’ll add the permission prompt early and verify each accessory’s temperature and power characteristics work as expected. Ready to start immediately and get your lights and thermostats running smoothly.
