Hey All, I just received my Homey Pro today and dove in. Started with Hue ‘cause I have a bunch. But they didn’t look right (not enough), so I deleted them from the HP to try again. But now when I try to re-add my Hue stuff, HP throws the message “no new devices found” and nothing is imported from the Hue hub. I’m hoping this is just HP recognizing that I already imported them, then removed them, and now ignores them by default. If that’s the case, is there some attribute that I can reset to make HP see them again? And if not, is there some other work-around I can try? Thanks for the assist. - _Dave_ ---

Did you try after rebooting Homey? ---

No. I’ll give that a try. Thanks! - **Dave** ---

Checked the Support pages but couldn’t find the proper way to reboot (even from the “restarting to recovery mode” doc). The docs folks seem to take for granted that a new user will know how to reboot a Homey. Is it as simple as unplugging the device, then plugging it in again? - _Dave_ ---

Yes, I’m using the app to bring in everything from the Hue hub. -_Dave_ ---

Thank you! I ultimately became impatient and took the power cycle route, but now I know just where to look. This forum and the people in it are definitely Homey’s best “feature!” - _Dave_
