I connected both bridges via ethernet and had no issues. I was able to start the migration almost immediately without having to wait.

and the fact that it now works is the most important part 🙂

Sometimes there are other settings in Wifi that prevents searching on local lan, often called client isolation. Maybe a tip for other users who experience the same problems.

The (new) Hue Integration of HA 10.0 is now supporting Motion aware (as a motion sensor in your motion aware zone)  
You can add it through Ronny´s genius Home Assistant Community App as sensor in Homey, too

Is it safe to migrate the old Hue Bridge to the Pro and replace it with the new one in Homey without any problems?

I don’t feel like recreating 60 lights or dealing with broken flows.

I came across the following message on a forum: 7.1.2 23 Sep 2025 Added support for Hue Bridge Pro.

Or is it better to just wait a bit longer before upgrading?

I did the migration the moment the app in homey was out of testing. It went all fine a few none hue product you need to manual reads to the hue bridge pro but that not to much of a problem.

What I did was the following:

Disabled homey hue app

Migrated to bridge pro

Manual added none hue devices.

Enabled hue app in homey

Restarted hue app after it’s done with everything 15m or so.

checked all flows are still working I needed to reselect some scenes in a few flow but that was like 5min work.

Question about your last sentence: were the original scene-names still visible in the flow cards? Or were they empty? I use scenes almost everywhere in Homey, so just checking if I need to take some screenshots.

The original scene names are still available in the flows, but you need to re-add them to the same flow for them to work again.

As Niels also replied the names are there you just need to sect it again.

If you hover over it it takes like 5sec to load the list for me and then the same comes up with now the pro bridge name behind it select it. Do this for all the scenes in the flow save and check all flows.

I had the new Hue Bridge Pro already running 25 days for half of my lights, sensors and switches. Today I updated the Hue app on Homey and it says everything is migrated. And that seems to be the fact. I see all lights, sensors and switches again.

But…. whenever I want to add a new light (one was replaced during these 25 days), it finds a lot of new lights which were migrated to the Bridge Pro, these lights already are available in Homey…. Should I replace them one by one or just live with it?

Extra question: I used to have 2 bridges, one of them is already migrated to the bridge pro. Do some of you have experience on migrating multiple bridges? I like to migrate the last bridge also, but as these contains the lights used inside the house, I don’t know if it will work right and don’t want to have to do this all by hand or sit in the dark 🙂

I have the same if I now add device, don’t have a new light added yet, I get a prompt that all lights that I already have are found as new.

Maybe this is a bug and need to be fixed I wouldn’t add them again at this point

I think you need to wait until hue comes with a update for this they stated that option is in the works

Yes, I just read the included link on this in the email from Athom. So I’ll just be patient 🙂

@Doekse any plans for a motion aware update? HA already has it (as per usual earlier then Homey) so it should be technically possible.

I have an annoying problem: when I control Hue lights via Homey, I can see their status change in the Hue app. But the other way around doesn’t work — when I switch the lights off in the Hue app, their status in Homey doesn’t update and still shows them as “on.” Is that normal? Is there a solution for this?  
Thanks,  
Tim

The Osram Lightify smart plug doesn’t work with the Hue Bridge Pro, while it did work with the “old” Hue Bridge

So I had to buy me a new one, the original Philips Hue Smart Plug…

You didn’t have to! The old Osram plug works very well if you register it directly with Homey Osram App.
