I use HomeKit to manage my smart home. I use different brands for devices and sensors like IKEA, Sonoff, Eve and SwitchBot. I think the main problem with using Apple for your smart home is the lack of dashboard, historical data and information. I have some shortcuts, some automation to record events and device states in Notion and Google Sheet, but it's not always practical or easy to maintain. So basically what I'm looking for is to have the current state of the devices, historical data with some graphs eg daily average temperature for the last month, it must be easy to use and maintain (otherwise it's not sustainable) so , are looking for an app, service or monitoring method.
