Discovery: If you have Hue lights and want a single Hue dimmer switch button to *toggle* lights on/off, this is really slow in Apple Home (you need to run an actual Shortcut). In Home Assistant there's just a toggle command that is literally 10x faster. 2.5 seconds -> ~200ms 🥳

(Maybe I'm weird, but having a separate button for "on" and "off" seems like the opposite of smart versus having a single button just be a toggle)

Like how in 2026 is this the best way to toggle a light in Apple Home

@christianselig it isn’t?

@webjac that’s in the shortcuts app, you can’t assign that to an action in the actual Apple Home app

@christianselig that’s actually true. From the Home app what I do is 2 automations, one to turn in, one to turn off. Sucks 🙁
