| HomeKit Bridge | Works | Works in Home Stable for years; separate bridge per device type recommended | Several years with basically zero issues per usersSaved copyI have been running HomeKit bridge for several years with basically zero issues. When setting it up setup a separate bridge per device type ie one for lights one for switches one for locks etc. will make adding/removing entities a lot easier and if something were to go wrong you only need to fix one type of entity. Make sure you only allow the entities you want to pass across, home assistant can create a lot of entities and you don’t always want to pass through, ie you probably don’t want to control the status led on a power plug.

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.
