You can also ask Google Assistant to cast the doorbell's live video stream to a Chromecast equipped TV. This even worked with my first generation Chromecast, although it took some buffering as all video tends to do on a first gen Chromecast. If you've subscribed to Nest Aware, you can even have your compatible smart speaker announce people by name, assuming they're recognized by the Nest app. I'm a reluctant smart speaker user, so I found this weird at first. But it's also the closest my house has come to the McFly house in Back to the Future Part II, welcoming home every family member by name.

SkyBell provides a nice drill bit in the box if you would like to drill two holes into the house. For my stucco installation I did use two holes, however I chose to use my own masonry bit on my stucco just to be safe. The install was straightforward and completed in under 5 minutes. For the 2nd installation I did I was on some decorative uneven stone and this was quite the challenge as it would be for any doorbell installation. I went down and got some quickrete patching material from Home Depot and filled in the grout and made a nice circle the size and shape of the SkyBell provided base. I was able to get one screw hole drilled using the SkyBell provided drill bit worked fine, however I had to use glue for the other side.
