Any opinions on video doorbell? My Kuna Maximus crapped out and it wasn't reliable. I think I'm leaning toward Eufy. I have a Nest thermostat but dont want to be too dependent on Google for more nest. Also use Alexa. Although Ring is most popular, dont want to marry their ecosystem either. Dont need ifttt (I think) Still some wifi (including an outdoor camera) , but most of rest of house is zwave on ST Also like local storage on Eufy.

Ring is my doorbell choice. It does integrate with ST as a button and motion detector which can be used in ST automation.

I'd look for one that offers ONVIF so you aren't stuck with one specific platform.

I'm using Ring with openHAB. org. It notifies and video captures on motion and rings.
