I've heard a lot of people talk about the benefits of the Home + app. It is 14.99 so more of an "investment" (instead of free).
I recently downloaded it and was looking through it and wondering what are the advantages of using the Home + application. I have a lot of automation that works alongside Homebridge (especially mannequin switches) as shortcuts in HomeKit. When I touch Home + automations (which I created as shortcuts in HomeKit), I don't see all the actions I originally created. I'm not talking about the Siri Shortcuts app, I'm talking about the shortcuts in HomeKit automation.
Another question I have is: If I edit or work with Home + automation, does that go beyond HomeKit or is it the other way around? It seems that a lot of people use various applications to perform various functions that HomeKit is not able to perform, but it certainly becomes confusing to realize which application is superior to automation.
I like that you can add (and / or) condition statements - something that the Shortcuts app and the HomeKit shortcuts app are missing.
In any case, any thoughts or help are appreciated.
