The Ring Indoor Cam (2nd Gen) in its EU version works with Alexa through the Ring skill, showing live view on Echo devices with a screen, and with Home Assistant through the official Ring integration. It's a Wi-Fi camera with no hub, powered from an outlet through a 1.9 m Micro USB cable and an EU-plug adapter. Live view and notifications are free; saved video needs a Ring Protect plan. Ring doesn't confirm Apple Home, Google Home or SmartThings.
