Hue, HomeKit and Echo

I have a Hue Bridge, and my 20-ish Philips Hue Bulbs are connected. The Hue Bridge is integrated into Home Assistant, and it works well. The integration gets the bulbs, the rooms and the areas defined in Hue.

I now want to import them into HomeKit and Alexa. I’ve added the HA bridge to HomeKit, which added all the lights. However, it also added all the rooms and areas. HomeKit already has defined rooms, so I’m unsure what to do with these extra/duplicated entries.

Also, many of the lights that show turned on in the Philips Hue app (through Hue Bridge) and through Home Assistant show as “Updating” or “No Response” in HomeKit. If I remove Home Assistant and Add the Philips Bridge directly to HomeKit, all lights and their states show perfectly.

Not quite sure how to tackle this. Once HomeKit is set, then I need to repeat this in Alexa so I can ask it to turn the lights on/off.
