How to toggle HomeKit light on Lock Screen?

Hello,

I’d like to toggle one of my HomeKit lights directly on the Lock Screen. Because it takes too much time to do this in control center (slide down at top of screen, tap home, scroll to room, find light). How can I do that?

i thought the new iOS 16 Lock Screen widgets have that but no. They only show how many lights are on.

i am going crazy with this. Tried third party apps like Widgetsmith or Home widget. Tried Shortcuts. Tried the Today widgets. Have I overlooked anything?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi!

You will have to use the app "Home Widget For HomeKit" that you mention. This third app that let you create great HomeKit customizable widgets. You can toggle a light with it for sure. It is the main purpose of the app.

You can test it for free with some limitation (max 3 widgets, 10 actions/days).

I can't see other solutions at that time.
