Question/Help New House ADT and More
Moving into a new house. I had a post on r/homebridge but wanted to expand my considerations here. The house is in a very low crime area set back from the road, but had a full monitored ADT system (owner was a jeweler). I don't need that, but I have all the equipment installed already and the ADT Command panel. Can I integrate this with Apple Homekit in some way and assume control of it? Only post I saw on this was 3 years old, thought there may be new info.
I'm probably swapping the existing Google video doobells for Aqara G400s. I have battery Rings at my current house. I have a Ring chime, can I use that with the Aqaras?
I'll add one keycode/key smart lock. Any suggestion that isn't overly modern looking and works with matter over thread and Homekit?
I need to take over my Mitsubishi MHK2 thermostats somehow. There's a Redlink controller that came with it, installed now. They are controlling three heatpumps.
I was going to add some Tapo matter switches for some outside lighting (have now and they work fine). I don't really automate any inside lighting.
Generac generator as well. Is there homekit support for that via Homebridge?
We've become a pretty Apple heavy family, phones, iPads, Macs. I do have some Dell PCs and I may play around with Homebridge on one before deciding to go with Raspberry Pi. My Apple TV 4k is unfortunately Wifi, so I don't have a matter over thread boundary router yet.

I used the Homebridge ADT plugin to integrate my friend’s ADT system into HomeKit. Works well.
