WorksAqara sensors and buttons work great via z2m plugin

I've got a Conbee 2 attached to a Synology and *just* got it setup. Like, yesterday. It has been a pain with Phoscon-- never sure what's up-- so installed Zigbee2MQTT in a Docker container, with the z2m HomeBridge plugin doing the translation to HomeKit. A few Aqara sensors and buttons work great, easy to set up. I'll move to Home Assistant soon enough, but this is giving me the minor automation I'm interested in. But it seems you'd lose all of your Hue setups, not sure how you want to talk to them in the end without their hub.

Partly worksDevices needed exposing through Eve or Home+ app before appearing

Yes, you ALSO need a 3rd party homekit app to expose the devices ... the homebridge plugin for conbee is really good, but this detail should be mentioned more explicitly

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
