Does the Aqara Hub M2 work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?

The Hub M2 (HM2-G01) is a Zigbee 3.0 hub for Aqara devices, with Ethernet, IR and a speaker.

It is sold in the EU. It has been a Matter bridge since firmware 4.0.0, but it is not a Matter controller or a 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).
