Anyone have this happen? All of my scenes disappeared. I will have to reconfigure all of them.

Unless someone know where/how they are stored, and how to recover them?

Where are these scenes setup that you speak of?

I created them in Elgato Eve app.

I guess it didn't wipe my HUE scenes. But it did also wipe my devices from my service groups in the Eve app.

So weird.

Oh ha. That "Elgato Eve" part seems like it would be kind of important to your question. :D

Were it not for the fact that scenes created in one home kit app will show up in other home kit apps, I don't see how the snark is important for an answer, but thanks.

So you have nothing other than that. Excellent! You're very helpful.

You're welcome. At least I answered. Obviously no one knew what you were talking about.

I don't believe Hue currently supports homekit scenes, just their own version of scenes. If you open in another homekit app like ConnectSense you should see all your scenes that you created in Eve.

Hue's "Scenes" will appear AS empty scenes in Eve and other HomeKit apps. I will try ConnectSense and see if it restores anything.

yesterday all my scenes disappeared (all created in iPhones or iPads Home App).
i am on 15.4 with all my devices, except one iPhone 7 which i started yesterday after 3 or so years. On the iPhone 7 iCloud sync was still enabled, may be this caused the problem. All my scenes and favorites and room associations are gone. merde.

Edit: there was a home app update (new adaptive light function) may be that causes the crash.

I had the same question as HomeKit has no UI. As I understand it, the only way create anything like scenes would require a 3rd party app, is that correct?
Not correct. HomeKit does have a UI which is the native Home app and Scenes can certainly be created in the Home app.
