Edit: See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204903 for a list of homekit-certified devices. Presumably this will be updated by apple as new items arrive on the market.

Old answer, still kinda applicable:

There aren't any accessories on the market at the moment, but there are several companies that are probably working to get products to market. None of the three products you list are compatible with HomeKit, however someone has created a 'bridge' that runs on the mac to forward commands to/from the hue bulb. See https://github.com/KhaosT/HomeKitBridge

Apple does ship a HomeKit Simulator with xCode versions 6+ which allows some limited testing of a home-kit enabled app. The simulator is a bit limited in what it supports, but it should give you some idea of how the system works.
