Looks interesting.

What's the difference between your app and Home Control: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/homecontrol-menu-for-homekit/i... HomeControl Menu for HomeKit

Home Control is a solid app and was actually one of the first in this space. The main differences are: Itsyhome is open source (MIT), has a built-in webhook server with SSE event streaming so you can integrate it into scripts and dashboards, supports deeplinks for Shortcuts/Raycast/Alfred, has a Stream Deck plugin, and a CLI tool. The base app is also completely free. Basically I built it for people who want to go beyond just toggling devices from the menu bar.

Thank you for the reply and the time to write it.

I'm probably going to stick with Home Control but I will download and pay for yours as well, mainly to show some support and possibly to switch!

I do use Home Control via my Stream Deck, weirdly with Keyboard Maestro in the middle to receive the Stream Deck keypress and call the URI for Home Control, but there's a lot to like from what you've built.
