I currently have a ring doorbell that I pay a yearly fee for but I want to get away from Amazon and a subscription fee. I would prefer if it used the Wi-Fi and it was able to connect with my house doorbell. Edit: I'd also like to add that I would like it to have the ability to stream and record video.

Haha I literally setup this exact thing yesterday, and then spent ages making Telegram notifications that delete themselves after a set time, so as not to clog up the feed. Because what's the point of knowing that someone was at the door after they've left?

Those Aqara buttons are so tiny and cute!
