Audio notifications for Nest doorbell and Nest Home

Cdpost1 — Fri, 18 Mar 2022 23:05:08 GMT

I have a Nest Doorbell, Nest Wifi and a Nest Home. When someone pushes the doorbell the audio comes out of one of the Nest WiFi’s but not the Nest Home. Everything is connected via the Home App. I just want the Nest Home to say “someone is at the door” the same way it plays from the Nest Wifi. I can’t find it anywhere on the forums, thank you.

@Cdpost1

Generally a smart display or smart speaker is going to be a better option like the Nest Hub. Are you sure that Google Assistant is enabled on your Google Home speaker? It is a switch. Also, make sure to go through your settings in the app to check and see why they are not announcing over your speakers.

Best regards,

Brad.

Google assistant is enabled and it is a Nest Hub. Sorry I typed Home inadvertently. How do I do it on the Nest Hub? Thanks Brad

Hi folks,

Appreciate the help @Brad. You can follow the steps below to make sure that your Nest Speakers and display will ring your visitor announcements:

Make sure your Nest Doorbell is in the same home as your speaker or display. If it’s not, you won’t get visitor announcements.
If you have a Nest doorbell (battery) , it may have been added to the Home app when you installed it.
Turn on personal results for your speaker or display. Note: If you have a display, select Always show proactively.

You can check this article on How visitor announcements work to learn more.

Regards,

Steve
