Review – Logitech Circle View Doorbell

While I’m not sure how you, dear reader, feel about the subject of a Smart Home, for me it seems like that fabled dream, closely resembling that of Star Trek TNG. You enter your quarters, and call out “Computer” to run a bevy of actions. For myself and others that have gone the route of
