I’m pretty new to all this, I just got a smart light and hub, etc. With the idea of using voice commands on my iphone/ipad.
But I was really disappointed to find out that I can’t voice activate the command “living room light on”, because as soon as Siri hears this, it responds “oh you havent setup a homekit device”.
I used homebridge for a long time, but found maintaining it to be a bit of a chore. Home Assistant was easier to maintain and configure, thanks to its web-based interface. And it has a bridge to homekit that achieves basically everything that homebridge did. You may want to investigate it!

Homebridge is a way to get non-HomeKit devices into HomeKit. It’s what I am using for most of my stuff. It works pretty well in my opinion.
