Smart button as a connected doorbell? (self.homeassistant)

Hello. Can anyone recommend a smart button that I could use as a connected doorbell? We already have camera coverage on the front porch so no need for video doorbell. Would prefer zwave but am open to zigbee as well. Our front porch is covered but am concerned about using an indoor button outside, mostly because of temps, esp in winter.

I'm using a zigbee button and it works great, no issues with the device over the winter, though I probably change the battery more than if it was indoors. I would link to the one I'm using, but apparently it is no longer for sale.
