I have the iHome iSS50 (https://www.ihomeaudio.com/iSS50/), a Homekit device that does the same thing you are trying to build. I picked it up on a whim because it was on sale for about $25, although they're hard to find now. Works fine with Home Assistant via Homekit support, including temp, humidity, light level, and motion detection, but not sound detection for some reason.

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.

This model is also in the ReReHome accessory catalog as iHome Smart Sensor.
