HomeKit Compatibility
If we can designate certain devices, when they all leave the network, triggers a "nobody's at home" signal to Apple HomeKit (as well as the Google Home/Alexa equivalent), that'd be really useful. It would obviously work in the opposite way as well, triggering a "there's somebody home" signal. Geofencing through HomeKit can sometimes be unreliable (especially in a high-rise building for instance), but a connection to my private network is an unmistakeable signal.
That can be useful to trigger events like locking all the doors/enabling security cameras, turning off lights, etc.

Thanks for your patience, Jhaybie! As of today, eero now fully supports HomeKit integration. Please make sure your app is updated to version 3.3.1 to use the new feature. You'll need to be at home on your eero WiFi in order to add HomeKit devices. If you run into any questions or concerns, please reach out to support at 877-659-2347 or email support@eero.com!

Not sure why the Eero Pro 6E doesn't support / allow connectivity with Apple's HomeKit when other Eero models do. While Eero and Apple have overlap in the smart home arena, there are legitimate reasons to go with best of breed and have interoperability between the two product families....after all isn't that what Thread and Matter is supposed to bring?
Please consider this as a formal request to the engineering team to reconsider the lack of support for the newer models such as the Eero Pro 6E.Thanks!
