Disconnects frequently from HomeKit. Last time around even their tech support couldn’t figure out how to get it reconnected so threw it away. Replaced with couple of Zwave and Zigbee smoke detectors. Since every room has HomePods triggering the test mode on the detector also triggers a HomeKit smoke alarm warning.

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.
