Starling Home HubWorksRuns better as HKSV camera via Starling Hub than natively; recommended over Homebridge

Not sure what kind of magic they are doing over there at Starling. But my google cameras, nest doorbell runs better as HKSV cameras than native devices, and I've run through them all. And even with the best implementation of HKSV, I still like that I have Nest Aware as backup, because sometimes HomeKit starts recording too late or ends to early.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
