Figured this might be a decent place to ask, does anyone know why the Home app is so bad but I don’t seem to see complaints about it? It’s by far the least responsive Apple app I’ve seen, it constantly outputs audio on the wrong device (e.g. to speakers even when AirPods are connected), it crashed if I scroll back to past camera videos, and maybe worst-of-all, the Mac app is somehow like a pre-multitasking iPad app. I guess it’s Catalyst, but other Catalyst apps work fine. Why does this one break as soon as it loses window focus?

More on topic, I’ve also been trying to ask Siri for stuff at home and toddlers are way smarter.

This might not help much, but I've not seen _any_ of the issues you mention above and I have a ton of cameras, sockets, HomePods and lights in my Home app.
