All of my devices are homekit compatible, but I do not want to use the Apple Home app because it’s pretty much broken IMHO. I was suggested these alternatives. Did anyone have experience with these, or other recommendations? I have Hue and Aidot lights and sync boxes. A Homepod mini, an M2 Mac Mini, 2 iPads, an iPhone 13, and smart plugs, and a camera.
“Eve for HomeKit,” “iHaus Smart Home,” “Devices – Control for HomeKit,” or “Home+ 5.”
HomeAssistant plus HomeBridge?
homebridge is no longer being developed for home assistant because there is now a dedicated hoomekit plugin. Having said that, I still use homebridge standalone because it works better with some devices I control with my broadlink IR/RF emitter, in combination with home assistant for automations etc. Home assistant is clearly superior but it’s not perfect either. The only thing the home app is good for is for siri commands.
