Nest Doorbell Gen 2 - Chime before setup

[barkerg1214]

I am installing the Gen 2 doorbells on New Construction. At Rough we run the wires. At trim we install Transformer/Chime and doorbell. I'm having to make an additional visit onsite after the homeowner has taken possession, is there a way to avoid this? Can the chime function before being setup in the Home app?

I'm pretty sure there is no way to do that.   The camera needs to be added to the GOOGLE HOME app which needs to be created with the homeowner's own GMAIL account and also (very important) be set up with their own WIFI system.  Changing a camera's connection from one WIFI to another after the fact is very difficult with the Google nest cams.   (Trust me on that).  just read thru the many message of people on this forum running into that problem.

Sorry, wish I had better news.
