> there’s a real need for fast and effortless manual control.

On iOS i just pull down the control centre from the clock and it shows my most 6 most used home assistant things (a few lights, temp and door lock). HomeKit Bridge, I think is the integration that provides that.

It provides essentially the same UI as your app, without any app needed, and allows for "hey siri, turn on the hallway light" too.

Yep, I have the same HomeKit integration, but I mostly needed macOS keyboard shortcuts which are not provided by the Home app.

I also needed to control non-HA devices like standalone ESPHome lights/remotes, which Volum can do.
