Am I missing something? Isn’t the whole point of HomeKit that you don’t need a 3rd party app? I have some cameras and they work like that, scanned the QR code and Apple does the job never downloaded the manufacturer’s app. Is it different with Philips Hue?

I feel like everything I have that supports HomeKit requires the manufacturer's app installed so that HomeKit can interface with the accessory through the app. Which always felt like it defeated the purpose to me.

Well I have some Aqara/Xiaomi cameras and never ever installed their app and I only control them through the iOS Home.app (Apple TV being the hub)
