I recently installed a battery powered Nest Doorbell. Works very well. I have not found how to add my wife as a recipient of notifications. I have Nest app and 7 cameras in two different locations, which she has access too. She also has a Google Home App. Help please.

Hey GeorgiaBuckeye,

 

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community.
 

Try the steps below and let us know how it goes.

  1. Open the Google Home app Google Home.
  2. Switch to the home you want to share.
  3. At the top, tap Add Add and then Invite home member and then Invite person.
    • If you don't find "Invite home member," tap Add person to home.
  4. Enter the name or email address of the person you want to invite to your home and then tap Next.
  5. Review what’s shared when you add someone to your home and then tap Next.
  6. Review the person’s access to your home and then tap Send.
  7. If your Google Family Group isn’t full and the person you’re inviting isn’t already in one, you should get the option to invite them to your Google Family Group.
    • To invite them, tap Add to Family.
    • To skip this step, tap No Thanks.
    • Note: You can have up to 6 members in a Google Family Group.

The person you invite should receive an email with instructions.

Note: If the person you want to invite has already requested to join your home, you need to accept that request instead of sending a new invitation.

 

Thanks,

Archie

Hey GeorgiaBuckeye,

thanks for reaching back out to me. No. My situation has not been resolved. I followed the suggestions given to me earlier…to no avail. It will not let me add a second family member…because she is already a member of household. Could not get past that step. She has her own Google Home App…and also has access to 7 Nest Cameras in two homes in the Nest App. They all work fine. I’m really getting frustrated with this particular aspect of install. Any other suggestions? Thanks. 

Hey GeorgiaBuckeye,

 

Understood. Is your Google Home app updated? Also, is this happening when adding multiple emails?

 

You can't invite anyone using a:

  • Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) account
  • Google Account for children under 13 (or the applicable age in your country)
     

A maximum of 6 people can share a home. You can try adding a different email to isolate.

 

Thanks,

Archie
