Are you on the same wifi network? Is the signal weak?  Have you tried rebooting your router ?

It’s saying it cannot connect to assisting devices. I just installed my Hub and Display Monitor without any problem. Idk about the connectivity though

Try a reboot of your router , phone, and the nest hello.   It's probably a connection issue that will be resolved with those reboots.

How do I reboot the hello

  1. Locate the reset pin hole on the back of the doorbell
     

    Tip: The reset pin on the Nest Doorbell (battery) is located below the USB port on the back of the doorbell.

  2. Press and hold for 5 seconds.
  3. Your doorbell will restart, and the status light will be steady, solid white.

Is the nest hello plugged in via the usb port ? Do you have any alternative device that can run the Google home app to try?

Yes another phone or tablet , its definitely a connection issue and I wanted to see if we could get rid of a variable, I'm also exploring some other avenues for you looking for a workaround, worst case I'll escalate this for you of course. 

No I don’t just smart TVs nothing else

Okay I'm gonna ask that you do a full factory reset on the hello doorbell , if this doesn't work I think I'll have to escalate ,

 

Locate the reset pin hole on the back of the doorbell.

 

 

 

Tip: The reset pin on the Nest Doorbell (battery) is located below the USB port on the back of the doorbell.

Insert and hold the pin (you can use an unfolded paperclip or a thumbtack):

At 10 seconds, the status light will blink yellow four times, and you’ll hear a countdown tone.

At 12 seconds, the status light will be steady, solid yellow while the doorbell starts the factory reset, and you’ll hear a confirmation tone.

Release the button. Your doorbell will restore to its factory settings.

Oh my goodness I didn't ask this yet, is your Bluetooth turned on on your phone?  That's how the phone connects to the nest to get setup. 

Yes always on

Still nothing 😞

Okay last item , 

On your iOS device’s home screen (iOS 14 or later), tap Settings. 

Tap Privacy and then Local Network. You’ll find a list of apps.

Turn on Local Network Access for the app(s) you would like to allow access to your network. This will allow permissions for your device to discover Cast-enabled devices.

Google home and nest is enabled
