I have just setup my Nest Doorbell (Battery) and is there a way to limit which devices play the notice "Someone is at the Front Door" or show the screen. Right now it plays on all 4 of my Nest Mini's/Google Home speakers and my 2 Nest Hubs. I'd like it to only play on the Nest Hubs.

I'd love to know this answer too. I have 11 mini speakers and the doorbell wakes up the whole house !!

Hi there,

Sorry for my late response. Thank you for all of your patience while waiting for a reply. I just wanted to make sure that your issue is addressed. You can adjust your notification settings, and you can also edit the Familiar Faces feature as well. Removing some of those options, and tweaking things may just do the trick for you. Look into the settings on the Google Home App and make those changes. Any device connected to the same network with Google Assistant, may be used as a speaker. You will want to check out your speaker/display groups on the Google Home App and adjust the settings for each device if you can.

Best Regard,

Brad.

Yes I've gone through all those settings but none of them are any thing like "ring these devices when someone presses the door bell"

Your response is the typical non answer I see on these forums. Could you kindly answer the actual question

I'm starting to think that many of these questions on this site are being answer by BOTS. I can tell a few are real people but I don't think they all are.

Hey BRAD, Are you a real person?

This is literally the same answer you gave to 2 other questions I asked. One answer fits all....

Hello ThoreNest and VTron21. Here is a Youtube video that shows you how to individually stop speakers from the doorbell announcements.

Click this link and then jump to 21:05 in the video and watch.
