HomeKit Bridge Replacement = Priorities?

[durosity]

Depends on what you are referring to.

Currently with progress thus far (and very close to Beta just need a name!) can go to HomeKit app select accessories (eg. Light) and go to combine devices within settings for this accessory.

You can then group with a whole lot of other devices (presume they are all lights)
And creates one device

eg.
I have 2 hue bulbs in a standing up lamp (sure there is a technical name for the lamp!)
Grouped together with HomeKit app and on/off, brightness, color all behave the same.

Is that what you mean?
It does seem mainly for Bulbs - on further HomeKit app checking..

Ah no, I mean having HomeKit recognise it as a combined device but still have individual controls. Like this:


(I believe this can also be done with things like dimmer, and faucet control so you can have one control for hot and one for cold)

Gang,
has anyone else experienced an issue where all there HomeKit devices stopped responding ?
My stiff has been working perfectly for a long long time and a few days ago , Siri replies, the deck lights are not responding...I turned the lights on with the Indigo app.
Today, I see that ALL of the devices in the home app are no longer responding,
I was running the old homebridge (0.4.22) app, (ya, I know ) but I updated the Homekit Bridge 1.0.2, configured and published a single lamp, but the IOS Home app can't seem to find the bridge...
If it matters, I have a few AppleTVs, and HomePod , Is it possible that one of those devices received an update and killed the software bridge capability ?
...or has this been broken for a while and that's why the new "link" software in in beta ?

Oddly enough, 6th time adding the bridge was the charm
...strange that the homebridge failed all of a sudden tho.
thanks for all your efforts
