How it works

Icramer — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 17:25:43 GMT

What I am hoping this will do is light up something on my phone when someone rings the doorbell and then allow me to speak to that person at the front door. I don’t need notifications for any activity other than that.Nest wants to tell me every time someone appears at the door whether they ring the bell or not and this just creates a whole bunch of annoyance. But if I turned that off, well you get the idea. Please help me.

Under Settings in the Google Nest app, you should have Visitor Announcements turned on, and under Notifications, under Notification Type, both Push Notification and Email should be turned off. That's what we have (unless we want to turn on Push Notification temporarily for People and Package events when we're expecting a package.
