Is there a nice way to add flows or moods to Apple Homekit to start them as a Scene from apple homekit?
For now I make virtual button/device, in homey that starts a flow. Then in Apple homekit I can make a scene that triggers that virtual button/device, but I need to do that for every flow and takes a lot of time, and many virtual devices that start something. It would be really nice if I can select in someway directly a flow or mood in apple homekit app, that is started with a specific scene…

Scenes are stored locally on your iDevice or on your Home hub (and, from what I know, are basically just a bunch of device actions that get executed when you activate a scene), meaning they can’t be “published” by a HomeKit bridge, like Homey.
The only thing I can imagine being possible is to publish moods to HomeKit as buttons or switches, but that would have to be explicitly implemented (something that I might consider doing for HomeKitty).

Not sure if I get what you mean, but I want to import flows or moods into homekit, not the other way around like you mention? For now I need to make a virtual button that activates a scene in homey, but that takes an additional step. Furthermore, activating a mood is even not possible?
What I’m saying is that moods cannot be imported as scenes into HomeKit, and flows either, at least not as-is. You will need a workaround like a virtual device to trigger the mood/flow.
