User level: Level 1 (4 points)The default room in my Home App is missing. When I add a new HomeKit device it is going into the Default Room (I assume) but since I do not see the Default Room I cannot access the device or move it to the desired room.

When you add an accessory to the home app, you have to assign it to a room. If you do not do this, it will add it to the default room. You can find the default room by going into the home app, clicking on the 3 dots (more/…) and clicking on default room. If the default room does not appear- it usually means there is no devices in it as you have moved all devices to an existing room.
hope this helps as I’m setting up an appme smart home very soon as well. 👍
