Nest Doorbell (Battery) needs a volume override on Google Home speakers

BubblyBlinket — Fri, 26 Aug 2022 10:27:51 GMT

I got a Nest doorbell for my older parents, as they constantly miss their doorbell due to not hearing it.
They have multiple google home Minis and a Google Nest display.
An issue I am encountering is the volume. They often use their google homes as a Radio, and then later turn down the volume, meaning they are not hearing their doorbell.
It would be great if the doorbell could override the device volume settings to always ring at a high volume.

Hey there,

I am terribly sorry to hear that you're having this issue with your Nest camera! I'm sure it's frustrating but I'm happy to look into this and see how we can help out. The first troubleshooting step that I'd recommend would be to Restart your device. By doing this, it should keep all your settings, and reconnect it to the same Wi-Fi network. This is helpful if it ever freezes, has connection problems, or isn't working normally.

Best regards,
Brad
