Apple HomeKit and video Doorbell

[DamienZ]

I understand that some camera the essential kits are good to go to Apple home kit but I have the 2nd gen video doorbell can that go to Apple HomeKit too?

I'm interested in this too.  I just purchased multiple Arlo 2nd Gen 2k Doorbells to replace my Nest Hellos (working with Homekit using Homebridge), as the rest of my cameras are Arlo and I have a Arlo Secure subscription. 

I was really disappointed to find out that the doorbells don't work with Homekit/SmartHubs.  I read on the Arlo KB that Arlo is currently working on a solution to make 2nd Generation Arlo Video Doorbells compatible with Arlo SmartHubs and Arlo Base Stations in 2024.  I'm considering returning these doorbells, so it would be great to understand if a solution is really being worked.

The firmware allowing Base Station/SmartHub support and HomeKit compatibility will be available soon. I will provide an updated timeline for when this firmware will be available once we have more information to share.
