You might be able to get them into Hubitat via [RELEASE] Matter Advanced Bridge (limited device support). @kkossev's work allows for other Matter Hubs to connect to Hubitat, it might work for the Matterbridge plug-in for Home Assistant.
HomeAssistant Matter Bridge server / plugins seems to be at is very early development stage and the device types that can be exposed to other systems is still limited. If anyone has tried it, will be interesting to hear.
I think that the HADB will remain for a long time the best way to bring HomAssistant devices to Hubitat.

So far I have only tried directly commissioning the bridge in Hubitat. That failed, obviously, as Hubitat cannot commission devices on its own.
It paired with Google Home instantly. All my devices that I shared work perfectly, plus this "Device Aggregator" device which I'm assuming is just the "bridge".
I suppose I could try sharing the Aggregator with Hubitat using the linking code from Google Home and see what happens... I doubt that will work.
Perhaps I'll give this bridge a shot too just for fun. But the whole idea was to run a completely separate fabric between HA and HE in a native fashion.
Anyway, I disabled Matter again on my C-5 as it jacked up my CPU usage from ~0.5% to 15%+ and lowered my freemem from ~350MB to ~200MB. Seems like the performance impact is just not worth it. Seems like Matter is currently not worth it. Guess I'm sticking with HADB....

I did the test right now without Matter bridge plugin, using default Matter generic switch driver... same problem sometimes. Status locked on off, even pressing On button.
Matter bridge driver at least allow me to reboot connection using the Discovery All.
Everything I did was reboot router.
