Would be great to start a flow when changing a focus on my Apple devices 😌

You can do that with the Shortcuts app: create a new personal automation that gets triggered when a particular focus mode gets turned on/off, then use a webhook URL to your Homey to trigger a flow.

Exactly as Robert says.  
I do the same.  
When I go to sleep I activate the Shortcut and it this calls the flow siri\_sleep via an HTTP request card.

You can also use Siri so that you can start a Shortcut via speech and therefore also a flow on Homey.

Homey flow card:
