By “device”, do you mean Homey? Which Homekit implementation are you using? ---

iPhones can only act as a HomeKit _controller_, not a HomeKit _accessory_, so you can’t add your iPhone to Homey (although I don’t understand the use case of that anyway…). ---

Okay, so you’re not trying to add your iPhone to Homey, but your Homey to your iPhone. You can use the built-in HomeKit experiment for that, or an app like HomeKitty. ---
