The Perfect Smart Intercom: does it even exist?

When it comes to smart intercoms, the options out there are dissapointing to say the least. I was hoping anyone would have suggestions for me. I'm looking for:

  • An intercom or doorbel "combination" that has a relay (i.e. door-opener)
  • PoE connectivity;
  • Access management, e.g. RFID tag
  • Integrations, e.g. Homey
  • Indoor screen, but this may be an unrelated tablet too, as long as there's a clear "calling" screen when the doorbell rings, not just a notification
  • It has to work in a non-smart way as well; so even if the internet goes down, I'd have to be able to answer calls and open the door using the internal network

The only two options I found are DoorBird and Hikvision. However, Hikvision lacks proper integration with other systems and Doorbird... the app is just plain ugly (but it might work)

I've also been looking to UniFi Doorbel G4 Pro, which features RFID access management, a fingerprint sensor and integrations with Homey. The app looks good too, however I feel like I need an entire setup with Access Control here which might get super complicated.

Lastly, the Fibaro Intercom is possible, but needs a lot of space to be built in the wall (which I doubt I have)

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear it!
