Is there any instruction on how to add zigbee devices connected to iHost to Homebridge running on iHost as an addon in docker hub on iHost?

Homebridge is not meant to be an integration for Zigbee devices. I use the Zigbee devices that iHost supports and then exposes via its Matter bridge to HomeKit. I use Homebridge docker on iHost to integrate a few devices that are WiFi. I also use Matterbridge on iHost to integrate a variety of Shelly devices.

You didn’t understand the point of my question. I know why homebridge is meant. The purpose is to be able to control Sonoff eWelink devices with automations in the Home app. Or as it is written on the Apple website: “The Home app makes it easier to control all your smart home accessories”. Since I also have Zigbee devices in my smart home and since they are connected to iHost and since iHost has the option to add a Homebridge addon in Docker Hub, which is an intermediary to the Home app, I would like to manage my Zigbee devices in the Home app just like my WiFi devices. That’s why I’m asking if anyone knows of instructions on how to do this.

Using the build-in Matter Bridge feature to sync the zigbee end devices via ihost to apple home, no need to configure them in HB。
