Home Assistant may be a challenge to learn, but it gets better abd easier every month. The benefit I appreciate the most is you don’t rely on any of the closed systems. Even HoneKit doesn’t cut the mustard.
Home Assistant is locally nosted, works with multiple protocols, and is open source (the second largest open source project on earth), and is owned by a non-profit that can’t be bought by a large corporation and ruined.
It is secure and reliable. And almost any device can be made to work with it without proprietary hubs.
