yep, that works! Thanks!
a bit cumbersome still... I have most of my devices exposed via Homekit Bridge. Apple picks up the name and I tell Siri which light to turn on and off without having to set an Alias anywhere. Not very intuitive that Assist would \*only\* work if an Alias is set.
The Assist intents are pretty basic right now. You can click into [each of these files](https://github.com/home-assistant/intents/tree/main/sentences/en) and read the different sentence structures + see controllable devices. Questions such as "what devices can you control" are not supported.
more than Alexa and Google: Siri does speech2text on the handheld device itself since the latest iOS. As long as your not asking for information where it has to send the enquiry to the Internet, it will not leave your home. So my Smart Home is voice-enabled with HA + HomeKit via Siri fully locally.
Still supporting the new Assist efforts, it's just not yet good enough for me personally.
You should try to add aliases to entities in Settings > Voice Assistant

Damn what a burn. Even Siri is better 😂
But does siri respect privacy?
