Nest doorbell selectively ringing selected access points

chidester — Wed, 08 Jun 2022 17:45:18 GMT

Hi.

I have a google nest mesh WiFi network installed with the maximum of 5 additional access points.

I’m considering installing the nest video doorbell.

*All access points have an integrated google assistant.

Question: Am I able to configure the doorbell to selectively chime (ring) a small subset of all the access points on the network? (I only want the doorbell to ring two access points, not hardware in bedrooms.)

Thanks in advance!

@chidester

Unfortunately, you can only turn "Visitor announcements" on or off at the doorbell level, and cannot turn it on or off for specific Nest Hubs, Nest Minis, or other Nest speakers, though many other customers have asked for that capability in this forum.

Thank you for the response, I had not seen any prior requests or clarifications on this topic.

I’m a little disappointed with the nest family of products at this point, given Google’s resources and software chops. Strong initial design, but complete lack of forward movement, fixes, and improvements.
