GPIO Doorbell Verifiedhomebridge-gpio-doorbell | Partly works | Rings, but Home app shows 'Not Supported' without a camera; needs GPIO pull-downSaved copyYes, the Apple Home App shows that the accessory is not supported. This is because the official HomeKit specification want’s the doorbell service to be exposed by a video doorbell. It should ring anyway. Could you please provide the following information: Enable Debug Mode, Ring the doorbell, send the Logs for that To which pins did you connect your doorbell on your pi? A scheme how the button is connected to your pi (photo also ok). Is the button directly connected, if not what is in between?

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.
