Hi dewar85,

Thank you for posting in the community. I see you’re having trouble getting notifications to your Nest Doorbell and Nest Camera in the Google Home app after you migrated, and that the Nest devices aren't detecting the person, sound, etc. on your phone or website. I’m here to help.

For better assistance, please answer the following questions:

When did the situation begin?
What model of Nest Doorbell and Nest Camera do you have? (Here is a helpful article to identify the type of Nest Doorbell and Camera).
Is the Airplane or Do Not Disturb mode turned off?
Did you try to use a different mobile device or browser?
Is the situation constant or intermittent?
Are the devices detecting events?
Did you receive any push or email notifications?
Do you have a Google Home Premium Subscription? If yes, what type is it?

Please keep me posted on your findings.

Regards,

Byron

Hi dewar85,

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate all the information you provided. Based on your details, please follow these recommendations:

Step 1: Verify your account.

After the migration did you use the same email account that was originally used to register your Nest devices?
Please confirm whether you are using the Nest app or the Google Home app to manage your cameras and doorbell.

Step 2: Refresh notification settings.

In the Google Home app or Nest app, turn all notification settings to Off. Double check the Web app to ensure the settings match.
Sign out of your Nest account on all devices it's signed into, including mobile devices and computers.
Uninstall the Google Home app or Nest app from your phone.
Restart your phone and computer. and clear cookies and cache on your browser.
Reinstall the app on your phone.

Step 3: Check phone-specific settings, before turning notifications back on, ensure the following on your mobile device:

Background App Refresh is turned On.
Do not Disturb mode is turned Off.

Finally, turn all notification settings back to On within the app.

Please let me know how it goes.

Regards,

Byron
