Hi @Selle,
Thank you for reaching out to the community. I understand you're looking for a way to set a separate notification sound for your doorbell alerts so they don't sound the same as your text messages. I'm happy to provide you with the information requested.
If you have a Nest Doorbell, there is currently no option to customize notifications directly within the Google Home app for individual devices like cameras or doorbells. However, if you are an Android user, you can customize notifications at the system level for each app. This is the closest available workaround, though the specific steps may vary depending on your device's brand and model.
I understand this feature may be useful, considering your needs and the needs of all Google Nest users.
We're always looking for ways to improve, and we appreciate your feedback.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Anders
