I‘ve just added my Philipps Hue Bridge via Matter and played a bit with it. How can I delete the Bridge from Homey? I don‘t see anything in the app… any ideas?

Judging by a very recent thread (in the Dutch part of the forum) about a user wanting to do the same with an IKEA Dirigera bridge, it seems this isn’t possible.

You can ask Athom if they know a way: [https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360015784034-Submitting-a-support-request](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360015784034-Submitting-a-support-request)

That didn’t fix the issue with the Dirigera. Even a factory reset of Homey didn’t fix it, because Homey cannot handle it when another border router says it already knows Homey.

I could delete the matter link to homey within the hue app, but I‘m afraid that homey just say „sorry connection issue“ and everything on homey is still there. Plus I‘ve 33 device connected to the hue bridge, deleting all devices manually is horrible…

That’s why you need to ask Athom, I’m sure that they considered this situation when they implemented Matter.

Ok, Athom Ticket is on its way… I’ll post the answer here, but due to holidays I don’t expect an answer soon…

@robertklep When I buy an HomePod mini and connect via the HomePod mini my Nuki smart locks can I also control them via Homey

Do I have to choose far things via IoS via the homey matter page?  
Then the connection of the thread network runs via the HomePod anyway and not via Homey?  
And do I need to add the matter code from the nuki agai then ?

I asked one of our Matter experts about how to solve this issue.

The way to do this is to or, delete all of the devices one by one, or to go to Advanced Settings of a device and then you should be able to find a button that says ‘’ Remove Matter Node’'.

To remove your Ikea Dirigera device you can follow these steps below:

Open the Homey Mobile App and go to: Devices → Long Press the Ikea Dirigera Device → Settings → Scroll down → Remove Device.

Still no anwer from Athom regarding my question…

The “one by one” removal would work, but not the “Remove Matter Node” - at least with Philips Hue. In the Advances Settings o a device I only see “Share Matter Device”:

Still no answer from my support ticket. I gave up.

Finally the “Remove Matter Node” was there, I don’t know when it showed up, probably due to an update. I’ve removed the binding on Hue site and as well the matter node on homey. Everything gone. However I don’t understand why there isn’t something like a “matter” app from homey. And if you delete just a device, you are never getting it back,… the only option would be to delete the matter node and read everything - very user friendly.
