Wired Doorbell Pro

Paid 110 for mine from Ebay

https://ebay.us/m/HBbZHc This one is a good deal

Seconding this - i have a pro model that i bought in like 2021, still rocking it today without issue

If they thought about it, they didn't do anything. The Horizontal vs Vertical switch is lazy and isn't an either or. Doorbells like Ring Pro 2 have much better coverage horizontally and at least as good vertically.

I followed the instruction on the Scrypted site for setting up a Ring with HomeKit, took me about 20 - 30 minutes including the install. I have a Ring Pro 2 doorbell.

I use a Ring Pro 2 (without any Ring Subscription) and have it tied in to HomeKit using Scrypted, I get much richer notifications than I ever did with Ring. It also tells me who is at the door if I have their face in the peoples section of my Photos, detects Animals and Vehicles too, also pops live notifications and camera on to my Apple TV, and records it all using HomeKit Secure Video. https://preview.redd.it/1iy6nks56r9g1.png?width=1206&format=png&auto=webp&s=2cb1ecf13f42c1af9dcea276a2a81cbc8a5fe3e3

I recently upgraded a 2016 pro wired one for the latest pro model (not the brand new 4k one) and it solved all my problems. The old one would never give me motion notifications, connect to live extremely slowly, and shut off randomly. Something might be wrong with yours.

Currently running a Ring doorbell cam Pro (the wired unit) has been very good for a number of years, but I have found that it’s got its challenges, but the biggest thing is the subscription fees. I’m tired of everyone having these subscriptions. When we first put it in we only had it, then we added another cam, and another, next thing we know the subscription is costing an arm and a leg monthly. I’ve been looking at Reolink, but leaning to Unifi (mainly because my whole home network is Unifi). I look forward to digging into these comments here to even help me.

Not happy with my Ring Pro WiFi connected to Apple Home via HA. I get half a screen of green garbley gook. Also have an older ring WiFi and a Reolink Poe set up the same way with no problems.
