How to reinstall 1st generation Nest doorbell

[Paul_in_HMB]

I made a huge mistake and purchased the Nest Doorbell 2nd generation (wired).  This thing is the biggest piece of garbage on the planet and I'd like to go back to my Nest 1st generation doorbell.  Should there be any issue removing the second generation doorbell and replacing it with the first generation unit?

No, no problem at all if that's what you'd prefer to do.

Note the important "before you factory reset" notes and then follow the "Nest Doorbell 2nd gen (wired)" reset steps: Restart or factory reset Nest camera or doorbell - Google Nest Help

Once removed, you can follow the setup steps for your 1st gen unit just the same as you did originally.
