This is an issue in HomeKit; you’ll have to take this up with Apple. If you change (delete) the service names from HomeKit, you can still see the names as exposed by Homebridge Hue.
Thanks for the feedback! Could you elaborate how to change/delete the service name? I couldn't find anything in the iOS Home app.
I also created a feedback ticket with Apple under FB11774172.
Open the tile for the accessory, scroll down to settings, select Accessories, to see a tile per service (!), select a tile, scroll down to settings, and change the name.
I find it easier to use Eve for this, where you have a single screen for all services under Types & Names in the accessory settings.
I do see several online conversations suggesting Apple are (now ?) using Configured Name. I tried to expose that before (in an attempt to sync the Hue bridge resource names with the HomeKit service names) and got burned badly, so I removed that feature. Maybe Apple changed the logic for iOS 16? Will need to do some testing this weekend.
Any success with trying Configured Name?
I think I tackled it. When scenesAsSwitch
has been set, Configured Name is added to the Switch service, and Home shows the scene names. Both when showing the accessory as a single tile as well as separate tiles.
In v0.13.49.
I just tested it. Works perfect. Thanks a lot!
Hello, I have to get on the subject. I think that the problem is related.
For me, through homebridge-hue the hue scene name is displayed correctly in homekit. If I change the name of the scene switch in homekit homekit forgets this own name again after a certain time. After that, the scene name from the Hue app is displayed again in homekit.
I could not find out why? Would be happy about help. Thank you!
Issue
Starting with iOS 16 I lost the names from my Hue scenes in the Home app.
Before I could see the names. Screenshot from old Mac Home app:

It is a bit inconvenient without the names to find the right scene. Could this be fixed? Thanks! For reference the same view in Hue.![IMG_4356](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/670855/200828906-1d412e5e-b943-49be-be71-49166a04a610.PNG)
