Expose a binary sensor as doobell via Homekit Bridge

Configuration

I have a binary sensor of the type binary_sensor.door_ding and would like to expose it to homekit so that I can use it as a doorbell with all the related functions (notifications + sound from homepod).

I have searched around but I only find solutions that require the use of a camera to which a doorbell is linked with the parameter linked_doorbell_sensor.

In the release notes of HA version 2024.8 I read:

The HomeKit Bridge integration now supports the event entities representing doorbells and motion sensors.

but I could not find any information about this.

I’m looking for exactly the same thing, have you found any infos?

This is how it works, but it requires a camera or lock. (I have now taken a dummy camera) would be great if it also works without a camera but I couldn’t get it to work.
