Nest Doorbell

Nanad — Wed, 14 Sep 2022 13:49:19 GMT

I purchased a home that already had a Nest Hello doorbell wired. I am trying to link but it is asking for 6 digit key which is behind the doorbell button. How do I get this key w/o having to detach doorbell from house.

@Nanad

Google Nest prints the QR Code and the 6-character Setup Code on the back of the doorbell, as well as on the envelope that came with the camera (if the previous owner passed that envelope on to you).

If you need to remove the Nest Hello, see how starting at about 6:25 in the install video here; you might be able to use a straightened paper clip if you don't have the removal tool:

Note that the previous owner needs to have removed the Nest Hello from their Google account in the Google Nest app, or you'll get a "connected to another account" error message and will not be able to proceed. You'll also need to do a factory reset if the previous owner hasn't done so.

These are the "Leave a device for the next resident" instructions the previous owner should have followed:
