Alexa users who are Amazon Prime members are reportedly being automatically upgraded to Alexa Plus.
Users who have been upgraded can revert to the old Alexa by saying, “Alexa, exit Alexa Plus.”
One user claims that they were “flooded with ads” after downgrading back to Alexa.

Do you need the doorbell hardware itself to be open source? Or just compatible with self hosted open source software?

If just the latter take a look at Reolink products. You can block their internet access and they still work great locally with Home Assistant and whatever NVR you want. DoorBird and a few others have HA support as well.
