What are you using instead to make such automations?

I use Hubitat for the actual HA stuff in my house, and have HOOBS running as well which connects to it, and a bunch of other home stuff that isn't HomeKit native (Unifi Protect cameras, Ring alarm, etc) and creates devices.

The Home app is a fantastic dashboard which I use mainly to monitor state, as well as to control (mainly lights and shades) with Siri.

Hubitat does all the core automation stuff, like tying together multiple sensor states. It also acts as a Z-Wave and Zigbee hub.

First I’ve heard of Hubitat. This is diff from HA? It’s own thing?
Not gp but I have home assistant to do this and it plays very nicely with HomeKit.
I’m in the process of moving to home assistant via zigbee2mqtt.
Home Assistant is good.

NodeRED is also good for more advanced stuff.
