if you're a HomeKit house, I do recommend you consider #HASS as the backbone of your household automation. you can present parts of your HomeAssistant #householdIT selectively to your Apple Home, so my fam can control lighting and whole-house audio.

you can do incredibly powerful orchestration and AI automations inside of HASS and let the polished product be what they see!

@winterschon oh no that sounds like a nightmare and one that i also endured at one point!
i actually made (imo) an error when i first started. i should have gone for wifi wall plates and zigbee lighting. i have some hue bulbs using their bridge but their bulbs are astronomically more expensive e.g. i have two ceiling fans that can only use candelabra bulbs and my g-d those are $$$ just for white!
so i have a lot of WiFi lightbulbs. like 40. 70% HomeKit 24% Matter 6% Tuya/Branded-but-Tuya?

@winterschon i do most automations and orchestration in HASS and then present selected devices (lights mostly) to HomeKit via the HASS Bridge.
Exceptions:
- Ecobee App and Smart Cameras, Ecobee Doorbell are directly integrated to Home.app for a variety of reasons. HomeAssistant can't even talk to the cams only contact sensors and room sensors. When someone comes to the door all the TVs in the house show a PiP of who is at the door before they press the button. love it.

@winterschon but Apple requires a HomePod or AppleTV or iPad to act as the Home Hub and it must be on the primary internal homenet wifi network your personal devices use. most of my IOT garbage is on a dedicated network but for HomeKit-First things like the Ecobee and householdAV have a source of truth as HomeKit.
sometimes one of my homepods will end up on the wrong SSID and it's a pain in the ass. it happens when i have my iPad hop on the private backplane wifi network i use for gaming 😂
