Status reporting wrong so HomeKit sometimes fails to control them
Do not report status correctly

No 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.
