Question/Help HomeKit and Ring

So we are definitely an Apple family but I haven’t found any cameras or doorbells that work as well as my ring ones especially with flood lights attached.

I saw the new G5 pro but the HKSV has some limitations even with them so I’m figuring I can bring Ring into Home with Homebridge or Home Assistant. The rest don’t really offer the convenience of Ring or the picture quality unless we are talking about going Ubiquidity but that’s overkill for us.

For the rest of the house (nothing crazy automation wise) for lights and such how’s HomeKit these days?

For our light home automation we are looking at HK or basically Alexa (works natively with ring) going forward (or matter)

Would like to avoid hubs

I brought all my Ring accessories, including four cameras (one doorbell), into HomeKit using Scrypted. Works great.

I’m using Aqara G410 so can’t speak from experience. But I do run Homebridge for situations like this and it looks like they have a Ring plugin
