Home Assistant, Phillip Hue Bulbs, and HomeKit

I switched from the Phillip hue bridge because it kept having to be reset to home assistant with zigbee adapter. The bulbs all connected fine. I even set up google voice assistant with Nabu. My question now is can I connect the bulbs through the assistant to Apple HomeKit? I do have HomeKit bridge but it only sees the cameras and none of the light bulbs. Am I missing something?

Go to the HomeKit Bridge integration and hit Configure. You’ll need to check that the Light domain is checked.

IIRC, after adding a new domain to include in Homekit Bridge (like “Light”) configuration, if you don’t follow up and enter a specific entity to include (like “light.hallway”) then all of that domains’ entities will be provided to HomeKit.

thank you! Such a simple solution but in the set up instructions it wasn’t clear that i needed to be in accessory mode i just kept including lights hoping they would be found but they never were
