I have had great success with my home automation. Home assistant running in a container interfaces my lights (Lutron) sensors (zwave) and entertainment (Yamaha / Apple). HA also presents a HomeKit hub that the Apple devices connect to for Siri, etc. All interfacing is via HomeKit because that’s our preferred platform, but the HA interface/app work fine and do everything as well. None of this relies on remote services!
