I still don't see why you're not exposing these devices to Homekit in Home Assistant so that they show up natively on your Apple devices in the control centre? Having my smart speaker volume control next to my iPhone's volume control just makes sense for that? Same for quick access to lights? Just pull down from the clock and tap to turn on/off specific lights, or have sliders next to the iPhone brightness slider for lights with brightness granularity. I don't see what an app adds to that?

I didn’t know it was possible, how embarrassing.

This can cause an interesting loop with HA.

The "correct" way is to set up everything in HA and then link it to the Apple ecosystem with the HA integration.

If you set your stuff on HomeKit first and then enable the HA integration ... you'll have two of everything and a headache. Ask me how I know :D

I have that integration, but the Home app doesn’t provide macOS global keyboard shortcuts which is what I needed the most.
