Is there a Google doorbell which can be answered from a Google nest hub max?

Is there a Google doorbell which would allow someone to talk to the person at the door through a Google nest hub max?

 

I want to buy a doorbell for a family member who uses a wheelchair.  They are not able to get to the door fast enough to answer it.

 

They have a Google nest hub max in every room and I would like them to be able to hear the doorbell ringing, answer it and tell the person at the door that they are in their way to the door to answer it.

Using a phone doesn't help.  It's often not in the same room or in reach, which is why we have Google hubs instead.

 

I already tried an Arlo doorbell, but found they can only view the video feed (with a lot of effort) from the Google hub, they can't speak to the person at the door.

 

If anyone could advise me what would work without having to buy more to try, I would be very grateful thank you.

We have two Google Nest Hello (wired) Doorbells, and we have Visitor Announcements turned on for each doorbell, so each of our Google Hubs chimes and says "Someone's at the Front Door" (for example), shows video, and presents the option to talk to whoever is at the door whenever the doorbell is pressed. I see various issues with the new Google Nest Doorbell Battery posted on this forum, so I don't know for sure whether it works the same with the new doorbell.

(I'm just another Google Nest customer.)

Hi Brad,

Appreciate the reply, but it's been so long I ended up buying one and testing it.

 

It works fine and as required with the Google Nest Hub Max.  Thankfully she will be able to see and answer it there, unlike the Arlo doorbell.

 

Only downside is the video has pretty choppy and laggy.

It would be really helpful if doorbells were required to describe what products they work with.

 

Works with Google Assistant certainly doesn't mean works with Google Hub.
