| HomeKit Controller | Partly works | Partly in Home Does not reconnect after host restarts; needs manual restart | Does not reconnect after host restart; manual sensor restart neededSaved copyWhy? Haha. It's technically on its own network (Homekit), and the main problem I have with it is that it doesn't reconnect if the host restarts. I have to manually restart the Aqara sensor to get it connected again. Which is a bummer, but thankfully it's not hardwired which makes it easy (for me), and the host isn't going to be restarting very often either, I'm planning on getting a UPS too for it, but the last month the only reason my host restarts is because I'm screwing with my apartments electrical wiring.

Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.
In ReReHome
Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
