I just want to have fine control about what's exposed to Google and Apple, without having to filter per integration.

Asking in advance to reconfiguring everything, because setting the Apple Home stuff is painful and clunky!

Apple Home, aka HomeKit, is different

how so?

#

It just is

#

Those controls work for Assist, and Google/Amazon when done through Nabu Casa only

#

HomeKit is totally separate, as are Google and Amazon if you do them manually

So if I don’t have Nabu, that setting is irrelevant for me?

It's irrelevant for HomeKit/Apple regardless
