You can use HomeBridge running on an always on ‘server’ in your house, like a Raspberry Pi. There are two community integrations for Hubitat to work with HomeBridge, and consequently Apple HomeKit. I use @dan.t ’s MakerAPI HomeBridge Plug-in and it has been extremely reliable.
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.
Click on the button +Add Built-In App
Select Maker API from the list of apps
Enable Allow Access via Local IP Address
…
The other integration is from @tonesto7 and is also popular.
[RELEASE] Homebridge Hubitat v2.0
I'm happy to release the new version of my homebridge-hubitat-tonesto7
Upgrade Notice:
Due to the changes in the plugin API (switching from legacy to dynamic) you can not directly update the plugin, you will need to add as a new accessory and setup your devices/automations/scenes again.
On a positive note, you can use the same Hubitat app instance as long as you update it to the latest code.
