Matter support for attached devices on other hubs?

I have a series of G2H and G2H pro camera hubs. I don’t have a stand alone hub. I have around 20 sensors of different types connected to varying hubs, dependant on location (closest hub - closest sensor)

I really need to get these sensors added into home assistant. I currently use Apple
Home and the devices also speak to Alexa as a third party integration with no issue.
I cannot add the ecosystem to home assistant for some reason. Don’t know why that avenue can’t just be opened up as there is plenty of third party support.
I know I can add the matter devices to HA. But my camera hubs are not matter enabled. And by the looks of it won’t be. So I need an alternate hub.

What I want to know is. IF I get a matter enabled hub. Will it expose my sensors to HA without me having to change the parent hub?
i.e: door sensor connected to g2h pro. Will that be exposed via sharing the ecosystem via a matter enabled hub?

Hello @daniel21
You can add your cameras to HA via Homekit integration and then add them to Homekit via the Matter Bridge.
If you purchase a hub with Matter Bridge support and link your sensors to it, you can add them to HA via Matter Bridge. This is not possible without linking to a hub—only directly via Zigbee, but you need a Zigbee coordinator configured and connected to the HA.
