They work without issues Ine HomeKit mode. With thread/matter only Apple got the keys or whoever paid them to get them.

Also: the Apple home app can’t change their mode to matter, you have to do that in home assistant.

Great, their new devices actually work in thread mode with HA, but their older ones only when you got an Apple hub device. I’ve got 6-7 of their devices before matter was a thing and 0 work with HA. Even those that got firmware updates.
