Tap on the word 'Input' and on the next screen tap on "Select a Home Accessory"

/resources/HomeKit-Examples/stateless/stage2.jpeg

You should now see a screen of your accessories, choose the accessory you wish to control (in this example I select "Front Door Light")

and Tap "Done"

You should now have something like this:

/resources/HomeKit-Examples/stateless/stage4.jpeg

now we, need to move the 1st default action that was added, into the If area, Tap and Hold on this action (shown below),

/resources/HomeKit-Examples/stateless/stage5.jpeg

and drag it into the If area. (shown below)

/resources/HomeKit-Examples/stateless/stage6.jpeg

Now we need to create the action what do if the accessory is ON, in this example we are going to turn the light OFF. Tap on "Scenes and Accessories" in the action, in the next screen choose the same Accessory you did before earlier (in this example it was "Front Door Light"), and Tap on Next.

You should see the chosen accessory like below:

/resources/HomeKit-Examples/stateless/stage7.jpeg

In this screen we make sure the accessory is going to be set to the correct state, when the button is pressed IF the accessory was ON, so in this example we turn it OFF. (which it is already set to OFF here, if it is ON Tap the accessory icon to toggle the state to OFF), and Tap on "DONE"

You should now see something like this:

/resources/HomeKit-Examples/stateless/stage8.jpeg

Now we need to Add a 2nd action to turn the Accessory ON, If the accessory was OFF, In the search box, start typing "Control", and you should see something like below:

/resources/HomeKit-Examples/stateless/Shortcut-search.jpeg

What we are looking for is "Control xxxxxx", where the 'xxxxxx' is the name of your HomeKit home, in the example it is "Control Test Home". (see below), Tap on it.

/resources/HomeKit-Examples/stateless/stage9.jpeg

This should add a new action box, see below:

We need to move it into the "Otherwise" area like we did before, so Tap and Hold on it, and drag it into the area.

/resources/HomeKit-Examples/stateless/stage11.jpeg

Now we need to create the action what do if the accessory is OFF, in this example we are going to turn the light ON. Tap on "Scenes and Accessories" in the action, in the next screen choose the same Accessory you did before earlier (in this example it was "Front Door Light"), and Tap on Next.

/resources/HomeKit-Examples/stateless/stage12.jpeg

In this screen we make sure the accessory is going to be set to the correct state, when the button is pressed IF the accessory was OFF, so in this example we turn it ON. As you can see the Accessory is set to OFF state which is wrong we need to turn it ON, so Tap on the accessory icon to toggle the state, and Tap on "DONE"

You should now see something like this:
