I have 2 U100s. They integrate with HomeKit over Bluetooth. The integrate with Matter via a Zigbee Hub. I assume the former is semi or totally proprietary. Can someone confirm this? Is there anyway for HA running on a Pi to use the Bluetooth to interact with these?

Home Assistant does support connecting to HomeKit devices over bluetooth, see https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/homekit_controller/

That indicates it can't be controlled by both HomeKit and Home Assisstant. This is because it's using the HomeKit protocol and not Matter?
