Another option that requires no custom code on Hubitat is @dan.t’s Maker API plug-in for HomeBridge. I have been using it for a long time with no issues.

New Homebridge Plug-in via MakerAPI

This new plugin does not rely on the "Homebridge App" in Hubitat and utilizes the MakerAPI and it's event stream to communicate with Hubitat. A few caveats upfront: You will have to redo all of your room assignments in the Home App on your phone Installation: 1. Hubitat MakerAPI App Configuration Under the Hubitat Web Interface, Click on Apps in the left side menu.

I read through the comments, and as far as I can understand, there is still no way of backwards communication from Homebridge to Hubitat? I have a few Sonoff Wifi devices with factory firmware, and can't add them to Hubitat. I tried through Home Assistant, however it wasn't working well (chrashes, or updating breaks things...), and I tried adding my light switches from Homebridge to Hubitat. Note that I do not own any Apple devices, and I am not planning at all.

Correct, communication is from he to hk or he to ha to hk. Now you can use virtual switches to make HK do something on HE. Such as have HK open a lock on HE.

You can also use the Homebridge and HE Nodes in Node-RED and do similar things.. I was doing this with Ring for a bit.
