Call notification on my doorbell

iftest77 — Wed, 22 May 2024 16:33:01 GMT

Can I receive a call notification to my phone when someone is ringing my Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen)? I have notifications enabled in my Home app. Now I receive a text notification that someone is ringing, but I always miss them and I would like to have a more noticeable notification. Is there an option for that?

We have iPhones, where we can only get a standard notification for doorbell rings.

But I've seen posts like the one below claiming that, on a Android phone, you can to to Settings | Notifications | App Settings, find the "Google Home" app entry, and scroll down to "Doorbell press notifications".

I don't know whether this works for 1st gen Google Nest Hello Doorbells, or whether there's an equivalent entry in the "Nest" app for 1st gen doorbells.

Since we don't have Android phones, I also cannot verify whether this actually works.

Thank you. Do you know if there is an option to receive a call to an Android phone like with my Nest display so that I can see a person who rings the door?

We get a pop-up notification on our iPhones when someone rings our Nest doorbells, and have the opportunity to view the doorbell's camera and talk to the person at the door.

Do you have "Push notifications" enabled for your doorbell?
