Let's face the facts: Some HomeKit enabled accessories are more important than others. You will have to play with some accessories every day, several times a day, while others do not have to be adjusted very often - if at all.

The Apple Home app lets you choose your favorite accessories and scenes so you can have the most used settings available. They will also appear in the Control Center, doing so much easier to adjust your home automation accessories no matter your current task.
