Does the Google Nest Doorbell (battery) work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?

The Nest Doorbell (battery) cannot record 24/7 and needs the Google Home app.

It is an HD video doorbell that runs on its rechargeable battery or on 8 to 24 VAC doorbell wiring, and it connects over Wi-Fi. It suits Google Home users, with native support through the maker's cloud. Alexa and Home Assistant users reach it through an integration (the maker's cloud).
