Does the Hubitat Elevation C-8 Pro Thread Special Edition work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?

The Hubitat Elevation C-8 Pro Thread Special Edition swaps the C-8 Pro's Zigbee radio for a Thread radio, so it has no Zigbee.

It keeps Z-Wave 800 with Long Range and is the one Hubitat model that commissions Matter over Thread devices itself. It suits HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant users through an integration (the maker's hub).
