Best smart doorbell 2023?

[Kid_Eternity]

Hi folks, our non smart doorbell has given up the ghost so time to replace.

Looking for a good smart one, don’t mind paying a few hundred quid if need be (but would prefer to stick under £150!), ideally should work with Apple’s HomeKit but that’s not strictly a deal breaker.

Any ideas what’s good?

I think just get the Ring. We have Nest but it's more expensive and not actually perfect so I'd stick with a Ring.

Ooh, look at your with a front door!

We just move the rattan and American style saloon doors at the front and put a trip step at the back.

So no actual suggestions then, you pisstaking time-wasters?

Hire a butler.

I did consider this, I'm so loaded now a butler or two might be the perfect addition to the helicopter I recently bought.

Vistors will be required to fill out a V1 form 2 weeks in advance of any request to knock on the door. Once permission has been granted to knock, you will then be allowed to attend and knock once to determine if I want to let you in. Please be aware you may be denied entry at this point and required to "never come back"
