Home Assistant with HomeKit

Is anyone using this? If so, did you roll your own with a Raspberry Pi or their preconfigured solution? Are you happy with it and what made you decide to use Home Assistant?

I'm using HomeAssissant with HomeKit although HomeKit is really only providing CarPlay garage door support (which I really like)

I'm using a raspberry pi with Home Assistant OS which I've been pretty happy with and found easy to use. Previously I had Home Assistant installed on top of Raspberry OS but that became a dependency nightmare.

I'm using Home Assistant primarily to control my ZWave devices, but it allows integration between any smart home devices it can connect to.

This is a long way of saying that it works well for me but its unclear whether it would be good for you.

Thanks.

Can you do conditional scripting? I'm looking to change a light's color depending on the status of multiple devices. Example: if all doors are closed - light is blue. If all doors are locked - light is green, if any door is unlocked - yellow, all doors unlocked - red.
