Why doesn't the Home app support app shortcuts by long pressing the icon? This function would be very useful for quick access to cameras, lights, media, routines, etc. Almost every other Google app supports these shortcuts. It seems like an oversight to not include them for the Home app.
Having these shortcuts would also allow the use of the Quick Tap feature in Android 12 to launch the shortcut. My ultimate goal would be to be able to double tap the back of my phone to show my cameras.
Please consider adding this functionality to the Home App. The app is getting better but still needs some of these little feature to make it more polished.

Agreed, having to navigate through the home app every time I want to check my front door for a package is annoying.
