Hybrid Apple Home plus HA via Matter; needs Apple TV hub
Replaced Ultraloq; Matter to HA with Apple Home hybrid
Saved copy
I just replaced all my Ultraloq WiFi locks (nice industrial design but awful wifi implementation) with Schlage BE499 locks, and set them up using the really nice guide at https://nils.schimmelmann.us/2025-03-19-schlage-encode-plus-home-assistant/ . This creates a hybrid Apple HomeKit / HomeAssistant using Matter to communicate with the locks (you do need an AppleTV or similar to act as a Matter bridge). So far it's been rock solid; HomeKey works for the whole family and I have lock/unlock and current state in HomeAssistant.

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.
