Home Kit Lighting Room Consolidation

In short

Greetings,

I have multiple Philips lights (controlled by a Hue Bridge) in my theater room. In the Home Kit app I have them all together under the title "Theater Room Lights". When I tap the icon in the Home Kit app it powers on/off all of them at once (my preference). In Roomie Remote V6 when I press the lighting icon in the Home Bar the lights are all listed separately, requiring that each be individually pressed for on/off control.

Is there a way to arrange that all of the lighting be controlled/named "Theater Room Lights" so that a simple tap controls them all in the Home Bar?

Sounds exactly like a Homebar Scene?
