Lots of talk about HomeKit support. I don’t have any HomeKit devices yet but was wondering what are the benefits of HomeKit support for something like a camera doorbell?
Used in isolation, there is no need for HomeKit support: a visitor presses the doorbell (or its motion sensor detects them) and Ring's own app will show a standard iOS notification on your iPhone and/or your Apple Watch. Clicking the iPhone notification will open the Ring app and show the video feed, let you chat with them, etc. It's all self-contained.
However, if want to link systems, such as having motion near your Ring doorbell automatically turn on your Hue porch lights, then you need it to support HomeKit automation.
