I have one installed for a year now with no problems. I was using a Nest Hello with HomeBridge that worked great but the Nest died. I did get four years out of the Nest though I would have purchased another but Google dropped the version I was using and the newer models are not the same.

There are not many doorbells that work HomeKit natively.

If you are willing to go with HomeBrige, Home Assistant or a Starling Hub you have more options.

The Logitech doorbell used to have a lot of problems with overheating in warm weather and losing connection. They fixed it with a firmware update last year I think. Mine has been rock solid.

I've had good luck with the Logitech doorbell - no problems, as some have had, with overheating. Besides the PIP alert on Apple TV, it will alert your iPhone with a video, or your Apple Watch with a still image. The only issue I've had is the still image on my watch is often taken before the person is actually in view of the camera.
