Does the Nanoleaf Blocks work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?

Nanoleaf Blocks are square light panels that mix with Small Squares, Textured Squares, Light Pegboards and Shelves.

They connect over Wi-Fi and work as a Thread border router. Nanoleaf states that Blocks do not support Matter. It suits HomeKit users, with native support through the maker's cloud. Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings users reach it through an integration (the maker's cloud).
