Does the Aqara Camera Hub G3 work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?

The Camera Hub G3 (CH-H03) is a 2K pan-and-tilt camera that doubles as a Zigbee 3.0 hub for up to 128 devices, with an IR controller.

It bridges Aqara Zigbee devices to Matter. It is not a Matter controller or Thread border router. It suits HomeKit users, with native support through the maker's hub. Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant users reach it through an integration (a Matter bridge).
