Can’t Connect to Assisting Devices

[Mongo36]

I purchased a new Nest Doorbell (battery) and after 30 minutes on the phone we were able to determine that the doorbell I purchased was incompatible with older devices.  

Creating a new home and moving my devices is really not an option.  There are 43, after you factor in smart bulbs, including two thermostats, eight Nest Protects, and about a dozen routines.  With a 130 year old house, an older wired model is also not an option.

I’m kind of dead in the water.  I’m really disappointed with Google over what is clearly a failure of both engineering and customer communications.

Hey Mongo36, 

Sorry to hear about your experience with our Nest Doorbell (battery) and I understand how you feel. 

I want to dig deeper into this — could you provide the case id of your conversation with our support team so I can have it reviewed?

Best, 

Melba
