Does the Aqara Light Switch H2 US work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?

In Thread mode, the Aqara Light Switch H2 US (WS-K02E, WS-K03E, WS-K04E) needs a Thread border router and Matter controller but no Aqara hub.

It uses native Matter over Thread, also supports Zigbee, and works with or without a neutral wire. It suits HomeKit, Google Home and Alexa users, with native support through Matter over Thread. Home Assistant users get native support through Zigbee.
