HomeKit HomePod Doorbell Chime

Is this feature supposed to be functioning yet? I see the option in the settings but when I click on it, the screen goes blank and doesn’t show any HomePods to select. Using a Nest Hello with Starling. Thanks.

HomePod still hasn't updated to 14
Not sure if it needs an update to make that work or not.

Yeah according to the fine minds at Starling, the HomePod needs OS 14 too. It threw me off because the option is there on the iPhone.

Would love to know more about this as I'm looking for a HomeKit doorbell but I don't have a wired chime or any sort of existing doorbell to use. Does this mean you could use a battery powered one and let HomePod be the 'chime'? Would that work with any product like Nest Hello for example? I have Starling Home set up if that helps.
