Does the IKEA BILRESA scroll wheel work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?

The BILRESA scroll wheel needs a Thread border router, such as the DIRIGERA hub.

It is a battery-powered remote that controls up to three groups of smart products over Matter over Thread. It suits HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant users, with native support through Matter over Thread.
