Gen 2 Doorbell WiFi Connection with Mini

GaryCottam — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 12:39:36 GMT

Hi,

I have a door bell and mini in the house, both work fine.

I have an office in the garden that has a different WiFi network - I want to buy a 2nd Mini, would I be able to connect it to the doorbell, with it being on a different network?

Thanks,

Gary.

@GaryCottam

Unfortunately, if your Nest Mini is on a different Wi-Fi network, you cannot "connect" it to your doorbell, because the two devices will be in different Google Nest "homes/structures":

"Make sure your doorbell is in the same home as your speaker or display. If it’s not, you won’t get visitor announcements."
