Logitech logitech circle Logitech Circle View Apple Hom (Open Box)

*Update - I’m up updating my review since there are serious overheating and disconnecting issue. The camera is no longer working as expected and actually lightly burned my sons finder when ringing the doorbell. This doorbell is not safe especially when used why children. I will be removing it prior to Halloween. Absolutely perfect device for HomeKit users! However, a completa lack of thought went into the engineering of hardware design for installation instructions. Clearly these two departments do not speak with each other at Logitech and it shows. If you can get over the installation hump I recommend the doorbell. Once installed however the device works marvelously with the Apple HomeKit software. Fast video loads, Apple TV clips when someone is at the door (my favorite) easy to subscribe on any apple device to iCloud service (only required for video recording, doorbell still works without subscription but streaming can only be done from home). I am actually excited to see what if anything Apple upgrade to HomeKit going forward now. Let me start explaining my disappointment in the installation process by saying I am a DIYer homeowner and have worked in the construction field for a few years when attending college (years ago) and I have installed 6 nest doorbells, 4 rings & 10 normal doorbell installations. As for the installation for this Logitech doorbell I am very disappointed in the engineering/design department at Logitech for 2 major flaws (this explains the poor reviews). First, Logitech decided to add 8 cables inside the ringer in addition to a small white box where other companies where able to accomplish the same with 3 cables and a small round disk that is about 1/4 of the size in volume. Is that the best Logitech engineering department could muster? The wiring instructions aren’t terrible (although it needs better visuals one can follow) but in order to follow along the steps it requires opening pop-ups. This would be fine if there wasn’t 4 steps then 4 more steps within the pop-ups and every time you close a pop-up it takes you back and you need to find your place on the website again for the step you were on. If that was hard to read it’s even harder to follow when working with so many unnecessary wires (8). My second complaint looks like Logitech’s attempt at engendering that failed most likely do to cost savings on Logitech’s part. Of which I mean the cheep plastics black base that is wired to the home and is screwed to the wall. It took me 45 minutes after the install was supposedly complete to realize that when attaching the camera to the base one needs to install it from the bottom first then push the top in to hear a click. If this is not done properly (for example what I initially did was install the top then pushed the bottom in until it clicked)the cheep plastic base will warp slightly and prevent the power connectors in the back from fully engaging. Again this step was included in the instructions via a pop-up (very easy to miss and overlook for something so important based on the design of the base). This could easily be fixed by spending a few more cents on reinforcing the bracket, making it out of a thicker plastic or do what others have and make it out of aluminum! Or make the instructing bold and not in a pop-up where it can be easily missed! Anyways I digress now that I have a working doorbell and am very happy with how it is working now. I will update after a few months of using it.
