I have same problem - on my iphone7 I can see the doorbell view but I need to look it up - I expected the doorbell would tell me on my iPhone that something was sighted even before they pressed the doorbell

Hi folks,

 

@Rlwhite you can use your phone to receive notifications whenever your Nest doorbell detects motion or people etc.. If you have a smart display or smart speaker you can turn on the visitor announcement from your Google Home app or Nest app to hear your doorbell chime.

 

@peterseaford make sure that your push notification from your Google Home app or Nest app is turned on. select your desired categories to trigger the notification.

 

Keep me posted.

 

I appreciate the help, @MplsCustomer and @Jt.

 

Regards,
Emerson

Neither my cameras or Google doorbell notify us that some one has been seen only boorbell rings when bell pressed so nest seems a waste for me

Hi there,

 

peterseaford, I'm sorry for the trouble. To confirm — were you able to check the Push notification setting in the Google Home app? Have a look at this article.

 

Rlwhite, how's it going? Do you still need our help?

 

Thanks,
Archie
