Homekit locks

Any ETA on when locks will join the other Homekit devices (climate, light and switch) in HA?

Would this mean you could purchase a homekit compatible lock and then use home assistant to interface without actually owning a homekit hub?

A HomeKit hub would be required. Than HA would interface with it

Looking for this feature too. Right now I use an automation in Homekit with an input boolean from HA but it’s not as reliable as I’d like.
