Hi, I am thinking of buying a Nest doorbell but want to clarify some things before I do.
Its the battery one I would be interested in (no easy way to install a wired version) but I want to check how / where it will ring when someone rings the doorbell. I have a variety of nest speakers, nest hubs, pixel tablet and android phones but want to make sure that it will work as I've read some odd things about the battery version not ringing. on google hardware. I Would preferably want to be able to auto-see the video feed and hear something (doesn't need to be a chime) on existing devices when the bell is rung.
On a slightly separate note, does the Nest doorbell have audible motion detection like the Ring one does as I find this really useful
Apologies if this is a simple / obvious answer and I cant believe I need to ask it when I have so much Google hardware but want to be sure before shelling out.

Hello Adar1971,
Thanks for reaching out here in the Community. Your Google Assistant-enabled device, such as a Google speaker and display, can announce when a visitor rings your Google Nest doorbell. If it’s a smart display, you’ll also get live video from your Nest Doorbell. You’ll only get visitor announcements on your speakers and displays if they are set up in the same home as your Nest Doorbell in the Google Home app. Also, while viewing the live feed with your Google Home app, you'll be able to hear the sounds near your Nest Doorbell as well as the sound from the events history
To setup visitor announcements, follow the steps to this link https://goo.gle/4aIwgQP
