> Then there are problems specific to Apple's IoT stack - like how it's impossible to set an RGB capable light to a ~specific~ white color temperature. Instead you get a shade picker and you have to guess what the color temperature is.

That's a problem with the atrociously, comically, terribly badly designed Home app, not with HomeKit itself. If it weren't for the "Controller for HomeKit" app, I would have given up on HK long ago. Controller lets you pick/assign a color temp directly.

I've been very happy with the combination of HK, Controller app, and Homebridge for integrating non-HK devices. Controller is worth it just for its ability to back up and restore your HK configuration and makes replacing devices a tolerable experience. It has tons of other features besides.
