Does the SwitchBot AI Hub work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?

The SwitchBot AI Hub keeps automations and camera analysis on the device, so they run locally.

It is Matter-certified, bridges up to 30 SwitchBot sub-devices to Matter platforms, and hosts Home Assistant Core itself. It suits Home Assistant users, with native support through Matter over Wi-Fi. HomeKit and Google Home users reach it through an integration (a Matter bridge).
