I made my automations also with the Eve app. Here my Hue bulbs become red when someone presses that doorbell button. But it's not possible to select an "off" time in Eve.The Apples HomeKit app does have this "off" function, but it doesn't work here. Not all Hue bulbs shuts themself off.
How did you do that?

If you are in the home app, you see the automation that you created in EVE. There, I can choose that the automation can be deactivated after a certain time. I chose 1 minute...and it works: the scene which is linked to this automation, stops after one minute - lights off and bell sound off.

Again, also very nice: I have an EVE DOOR sensor on the main door. When someone rings the doorbell and I open the door, it triggers the automation to stop the bell sound and the pink lights.

It's nice this solution "kind of" works, but why isn't the button press natively supported in HomeKit???

Eve app works. But it's limited. It can only call scenes and not full HomeKit automation.

The Netatmo Doorbell should reply to the standard HomeKit doorbell events of doorbell pressed and motion detection. Current only motion detection works which is actually less useful.

Next: when we open the door, light and bell sound are stopped via an eve door trigger. Works great. It also stops automatically after a minute.
I would love to have this but I can’t figure out how to do this in the Eve app. Can you please explain how you did this?

I would like to see a better link to notification customization that would give options for how a notification sounds for a pressed doorbell. Most apps on my iPhone give that customization option. The Security style just lists "Sounds" and has an on/off toggle. The standard notification gets lost in a sea of motion detection and text notifications and I totally miss answering the doorbell. Just let me choose any of the standard sounds please!
