Double lights in Home app for IKEA Dirigera

All of a sudden all my IKEA Dirigera connected lights show up twice in the Apple Home app. Also I see two IKEA Dirigera hubs in the Apple Home app. If I delete one of them, all lights disappear from the app. When I reconnects, first only one of each light turns upp in the Apple Home app, but after a day or two there are two instances of each light again. This goes for all my devices (macs, iPads and iPhones), but the problem usually do not occur simultaneasly on all devices. It can differ a few days until the lights show up twice on different devices' Apple Home app. Not sure if it's a problem with the Apple Home app, or the IKEA Smart app (where the lights show as they should).

Everything is updated.

Have anyone else experienced this issue?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

I have exactly same issue here. All devices have latest updates, including Ikea Dirigera and Smart Home app. I even tried to remove Home app cache folder on my macBook where the issue appeared initially. Nothing helped :(.

I solved my issue uninstalling the IKEA app from my iPhone and set up my IKEA system through the IKEA app on my iPad instead. Then installed the IKEA app on my iPhone again. Seems that setting the system up with the iPhone caused the issue in some way.

I have the exact same problem. What happens is that the Digera hub actually duplicates for some reason in HomeKit and there for all units show up twice as well. Deleting one of the hubs removes both and then I add it back again. It works for a few days but then for some reason I can’t figure out it duplicates again.

Anyone come up with a solution???

It was a while ago now but if I remember correctly all the devices and home settings was restored when I set up my home on the iPad so it was not a big hassle. The problem has not returned since I did this. But as I said, it was a while ago so I hope I remember correctly.

I tried this exact method and it looked very promising initially (and not that much work since the connected units are not lost when uninstalling the ikea app on the iPhone) but now I got two hubs again. Very frustrating!

Anyone have another suggestion?

Ok? So you had to setup all units again? From scratch? Having 50+ units it’s not what I’m looking forward to….
