"I’ve been trying to add a Philips HUE light strip to my Homey Pro (without a bridge/hub). An error occurred during the first pairing attempt.

After resetting the light strip with a remote and trying to pair it again, Homey claims the ‘device is already added.’ However, I cannot find it in my device list, nor does it show up in the Zigbee controller overview at [https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/zigbee](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/zigbee).

Does anyone know how I can force-remove this device from the system so I can try adding it again?"

That’s strange, I think you should contact Athom support in that case:

Have you tried restarting your Homey?
