Hi @andyf1882
You are going to want to use the Google Home app to control what notifications are sent from the new Nest Doorbell battery. You can set up the different groups for when the doorbell is pressed or for other notifications.

MrVacca, Are you saying that you use the Google Home app on your phone to set up the alerts on the Google Hub? I'm confused because andyf1882 is asking about the hub which does not run the Google Home app. Am I missing something? Please explain further.

Hi @mdr2 I assumed when the OP said "Google Smart Speakers", they were referring to the Nest speaker or mini, not the Hub.

Hmmmm, you might be right. I guess the user wants to hear a 'chime' sound on the speaker. Initially I was thinking why would you want to connect a device with a camera to a speaker? But I guess it makes sense. Sorry for the confusion.

No need to apologize 🙂 I completely understand the confusion. I have a speaker in my back porch so that when I'm in my back yard, I can hear the chime if I don't have my phone on me.

Yes this is exactly what I want to set up. But it doesn't allow me to do it.
I'm using an android device

Yes I have this toggled but doesn't work. Also won't allow me to create a speaker group.
I'm wondering if my mini are too old and need to be latest generation

Hi there,
Sorry for my late response. Thank you for all of your patience while waiting for a reply. I just wanted to make sure that your issue is addressed. I am terribly sorry to hear that you have had such a hard time with this! I would love to look into this issue further and help find a solution for you. You mini should still do the trick. Are you still having an issue creating a Speaker Group?
Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Best Regards,
Brad.

Yes I'm still unable to create a speaker group would this be part of the issue?

Hi there,
Which model of Google Mini do you have? That could definitely be part of the issue you are having. Please let me know, and I will look into this further for you.
Best Regards,
Brad.
