The issue i have found with hue bulbs is this, when the light is on in HA and Homekit and someone turns the wall light switch and turns off power to the light. when this happens Hue will notify HA that the bulb is unreachable. However this doesnt get passed to HomeKit and so the state stays as On. Changing the below two lines adds a third state as a state to check agains then sets the state to 0 and turning the light off in Homekit Original https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/65b8f9764abb24982a0bf4e488bb4e8e9460d573/homeassistant/components/homekit/type_lights.py#L7 …

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.
