Are you using the Google Home app? Do you have any other Nest products, such as a thermostat?

I am using the app. I have no other products. I reset the device and started over after it stopped working. any help would be great!

Hi folks,

 

I appreciate your efforts troubleshooting your camera here. Let’s sort this out — a few questions: did it work after resetting your camera to its default settings? What’s the status light of your camera? What Wi-Fi frequency band do you try to connect to (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz)? How far is the camera from the router? Are there devices or appliances (such as baby monitors, microwaves, cordless phones, etc.) near the camera? Also, were there any changes to your Wi-Fi network?
 

I appreciate the help here, davidking.

 

Thanks,

JT

I did. I can say I will not be purchasing one of these again. Right now I would like options for a refund or replacement

Hey there,

 

Once you fill out the form I sent, a higher tier of support will be reaching out to you via email. You'll want to continue with them, as we are unable to process replacement requests here in the forum. Thank you for your patience.

I filled it out. What happened to it? I assumed it would go to tech support.

This is a Google Home software issue!

This morning I  am set up. 2 new variables, I suspect  the 2nd was the  solution.

1 tried an old android phone that had the  Home app (automaticallyinstalled when I installed my primary phone), but one that I hadn't connected/ attempted to connect to the doorbell,

2. Logging in, prompted to join "Public Preview." I accepted.

Proceeded to the smoothest set up I've ever had,  including  going past the "new nest network " prompt.

I hope we continue to get along!
