Handle with care: unlike SwitchBot's locks and sensors, this doorbell is not on the Works with Home Assistant certified list, and the official switchbot_cloud integration has no camera platform at all. A community HACS component gives you a local WebRTC video stream, but with no audio and — critically — no motion or doorbell-press event entities, so you can't actually automate on someone ringing it. Buy it for local video-on-demand; don't expect it to replace a proper doorbell-press automation.
