Does the Aqara Video Doorbell G4 work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?

The Video Doorbell G4 is a Wi-Fi doorbell with an indoor chime and HomeKit Secure Video.

It is not a hub, so it adds no Zigbee, Thread or Matter role to the home. It suits HomeKit, Google Home and Alexa users, with native support through the maker's cloud. Home Assistant users reach it through an integration (the maker's cloud).
