Nest Verifiedhomebridge-nest | Works | Works fine with Homebridge; native Nest app also goodSaved copyNest Hello + Homebridge works fine for me. I purchased a Google Home mini as a speaker so that I can get announcements in whatever room I want. Homebridge does not seem necessary because the Nest app works pretty well already but it's cool to have the option to view your front door from Apple Homekit if you want. If the Sonos speaker has Google assistant then I've read that you can get the Hello to play announcements on it.

Nest Verifiedhomebridge-nest | Won’t be supported | No doorbell API available; Starling Hub reportedly supports itSaved copyI don’t think so, there was never any API for the doorbell and the new API via google is still “coming soon”. Though it does mention doorbell events. https://developers.google.com/nest/device-access Device Access for commercial developers (app developers, device manufacturers, and platforms) will be available in early 2020 to qualified partners.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.
In ReReHome
Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
