| Dahua | Partly works Cloud | Free cloud needed for person detection and doorbell eventsSaved copyI'm shocked Amcrest hasn't done this with their older doorbell cameras yet. Personally I use a commercial grade NVR and pull the RTSP from the camera directly. But if they ever do kill the free cloud service I'll lose person detection, and doorbell event integration. It's the only thing left in my house that needs cloud for any functionality. I use Ecobee thermostats, but I've moved them to Homekit integration for full local control.

Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.
In ReReHome
Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
