Can nest door bell camera announce on home hub when it spotted someone?

[twatson2010]

I have nest door bell (wired) and a google home hub. When someone rings the doorbell it is announced on the home hub.

When the camera "spotted someone" it does not announce, it only sends an alert on the nest app.

Is there a setting that will announce on the home hub in this case?

I find many people (especially delivery drivers) are not ringing the doorbell and would like to hear the announcement.

Other customers have also asked for this, but unfortunately for us customers Google Nest only provides "Visitor announcements" for doorbell rings and not notifications on a Nest Hub for other events.

That's too bad. It makes sense to be able to get any of the defined alerts as audible announcements.

It would also be a good accessibility feature.
