Visitor Announcements

[Geblo]

During initial setup there was an option to choose which devices are to receive visitor announcements. How do I modify which devices are to receive these notifications after the initial setup?

[Krisha]

You had the option to choose? Currently mine announces on all devices! including my kids room 😞

I'm also looking for a solution

[MplsCustomer]

Unfortunately, there is no solution. "Visitor announcements" go to all our Nest Hubs, Nest Minis, and Nest speakers unless they are set to "Do not disturb".

[Krisha]

Yes. but unfortunately Nest Cameras do not have a Do Not Disturb option. Even if you turn off the Google Assistant it continues to announce on visitor chimes.

@Google this is unacceptable, will there be an update in the new home app to allow us to choose which devices announce visitors? please make it a priority.

@Krisha

The "Do Not Disturb" setting is on each Nest Hub, not on the cameras.

Thank you for the help. It seems visitor announcements can only be disabled by using the do not disturb setting on each speaker. This is rather unfortunate.

Hi there,

User MplsCustomer is correct, I am afraid there is no option to pick and choose which devices will receive visitor announcements or not. Just checking in to see how the conversation is going. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Best regards,
