Does the Aqara Curtain Driver E1 work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?

The Curtain Driver E1 (CM-M01) needs a Zigbee 3.0 Aqara hub.

It is a rechargeable curtain motor, sold in rod and track versions that share one model code. At launch, Aqara promised Matter through its hubs by update. It suits HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings users through an integration (Zigbee). Home Assistant users reach it through an integration (a Matter bridge).
