| HomeKit Bridge | Partly works | Partly in Home Status reporting wrong so HomeKit sometimes fails to control them | Do not report status correctlySaved copyNo latency issues in larger setups (around 40 devices) but status can be hit or miss - switchbot blinds don’t report status correctly so sometimes HomeKit fails to control them. I’d say the issues are few and far between though, HomeAssistant + HomeKit has been really nice. I’ve actually gone as far as unpairing HomeKit native devices just so I can pass them through home assistant for extra flexibility and I haven’t noticed any issues on those.

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.
