New Routines app no longer references my secuirty lights

My Arlo setup contains 5 cameras, which connect to a base station, and 3 security lights, which connect through a separate bridge device. I had the 3 lights set up with rules which cross linked the lights, and triggered a camera to start recording when motion was detected by the lights. Earlier this week, I noticed that the lights were no longer responding to motion at night. The new app stil recognizes that the bridge and the lights are present, but the new "routines" section does not appear to have a way to create routines for the lights, or even to refer to them. The app does allow me to manually turn the lights on and off, but I cannot get them to respond to motion. Any fixes for this?

I also use the lights and they do appear under routines.

Try and restart the bridge an do a battery pull in each of the lights.

@Enigma99 are you still seeing the same behavior after trying the steps @Streak2 provided?

I was able to reinstate the routines even without performing the reconnection suggestions. All seems good now
