Nest Doorbell (wired, Gen 2) alerts stopped showing up on Android

[YouMagnifBastid]

We have the Nest Doorbell (wired Gen 2) on Google Home app (Android) that is no longer showing alerts on our Samsung A14 smartphones (Android). 

One UI version: 6.1  / Android version: 14

1. WORKED PREVIOUSLY: The alerts worked perfectly before and suddenly stopped working.
   
   
2. CURRENTLY WORKS: The alerts work perfectly on our Pixel Tablet. The app and camera are working as expected. Just no longer working the A14s.
   
   
3. TIMELINE: The alerts formerly worked about 4-6 weeks ago. They have stopped working on two separate A14 devices.
   
   
4. TROUBLESHOOTING ATTEMPTED:
   • Checked Notification Settings on the Samsung A14
   • Verified Google Home App Settings
   • Factory reset then firmware & UI updates on Samsung A14
   • Uninstalled, reconfigured, and signed back into Google Home app
   • Removed the Nest Doorbell from Home and added it back.
     
     
5. Wi-Fi:
   • Ensured that both the Samsung A14 and Nest Doorbell are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
   • Restarted the router to refresh the network connection.
     
     
6. BATTERY OPTIMIZATION:
   • No background usage limits or optimization settings are turned on.
     
   • Not in the 'Sleeping Apps' list
   • Google Home was added to 'Never auto sleeping apps'

Incredibly frustrating.

Does anyone have any additional troubleshooting to suggest?
