WorksAdds HomeKit to gen-1 bridge; relink button needed each restart until API key saved
Saved copy
Homebridge-hue has two functions. One is to provide HomeKit support for the original first-generation Hue bridge, which did not have HomeKit support. The other is to act as a interface for a Conbee zigbee gateway running the deCONz software. The Hue Bridge only supports lights and switches from Hue and a couple other brands. It doesn’t support other types of zigbee devices. For that you’ll need the aforementioned solution, or another bridge with zigbee support such as a SmartThings.

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.
