Nest doorbell QR code and 6 digit code rubbed off

pgardiner — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 14:10:47 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to register my Nest Doorbell (wired Gen 2), however the QR code and 6 digit code are rubbed off. Is there any other way to register my device to my Google Home app?

Thanks,

Philip

@pgardiner

Unfortunately, you need either the QR code or the 6-character alphanumeric Setup Code in order to install a Google Nest camera in the Google Home app.

Several years ago, we got in the habit of writing down and saving the Setup Code for each of our Google Nest cameras and doorbells.

Hi Mpls, so what can I do if the device arrived with both rugged out?

If it were me and I received a new doorbell with the QR code and 6-character Setup Code rubbed out, I would return it to the Google Store if I bought it from the Google Store, because the doorbell is simply unusable without the QR code or Setup Code. I've never had to do that, so I don't know how to do it, but maybe this page would help: https://support.google.com/store/answer/13806656

If I bought it from a retailer, I would return it to the store.

Thanks,

I've been speaking with Techincal Support and I need to return it to the store. Without the QR code, there is no other way to connect the device to the Google Home app. They will issue a replacement device in its place.
