Thanks, really appreciate the support! Agreed – the Home app is way too heavy for quick device control. If you run into anything or have feature requests, feel free to open an issue on GitHub.

Oh man, just discovered the deep links and webhooks stuff in the settings too. That IAP price is a real bargain.

Glad you found it! The webhook server + SSE stream is where it gets really fun – pipe your whole home's state into whatever you want. (SSE is coming in the next update along with Doorbell notifications)

My first thought when spotting that was to also put it on my always-on Mac Studio.
