Nest wireless video doorbell

Can I buy a Google Home Mini to connect to my wireless Nest video doorbell so that I have an audible doorbell notification coming from the Google Home Mini when someone presses the doorbell button?  Also, how do I turn off all notifications from my Home App except for the notification that someone has pressed the doorbell?  I can't even find this option. I live on a high traffic pedestrian location and I don't want a notification every time someone walks by.

Yes the Nest doorbell (battery) will announce visitors (i.e. anyone who pushes the doorbell button) on your Google home mini's. Make sure the setting Settings | Doorbell | Visitor Announcements is turned on.

Turning off all the other notifications is done in Settings | Events | Seen Events. There you can specify if you want notifications for people, packages, animals and vehicles. You can also use the zone feature to limit the area where notifications are triggered.

E.g. we have it set that we get notifications only for people and packages on the porch and path to the front door. The camera also catches people and vehicles on the street, but since these are outside the zone, they do not trigger a notification.

We get notifications for a doorbell press on our Google Home Mini from our (wired) Google Nest Hello doorbell, and there is no way to get event notifications from the camera for the (wired) Google Nest Hello doorbell on the Mini; they only go to one's phone or email, as configured in the Nest app.  I don't know how it works with the new (wireless) Google Nest Doorbell Battery and the Google Home app.
