Home Assistant is a powerful Pi app which improves, and more to the point centralises, control over your home automation devices. There are two flavours, one requires a dedicated Pi, the other runs as a Docker instance. I have the former.
It can be quite complex if you want it to be, or quite simple. I have a dashboard on my phone (and other devices) to turn switches and lights on and off but you can set up scenes, sequences and automations. It is a community written thing and is mostly free. You can set it up to be able to manage stuff remotely if you want.
It supports a wide range of manufacturer devices and in the main gives you at least equivalent if not better control than the manufacturer app.
