I have recently acquired some Hue Color and Ambiance bulbs and have experienced the same problem. I have a similar setup; Home Assistant controls the Hue Bridge through the hue integration and exposes the bulbs to the iOS Home app using Homekit. I did some experiments adding the Hue Bridge directly to the Home app and this problem doesn’t seem to occur.

In ReReHome

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
