I have installed the doorbell and added it to the Alexa app. But the doorbell isn't ringing through the Alexa Dot. Help!

Hi Djam,

 

Thanks for posting in the community! I'm here to help you figure out why your Nest doorbell device isn't ringing through your Alexa Dot device, especially since you've already added it to the Alexa app.

To find the best solution, I have some questions for you:

  • What's your Nest doorbell device model? Please check the following link for your reference: Technical specs for Nest cameras and doorbells
  • Is the Nest skill enabled to use on the Alexa app?
  • Is the Google account associated with your Nest doorbell linked to your Alexa app?
  • Is your Google Home app updated? Please visit our helpful article to check it: Update the Google Home app

Please let me know if you have any other information; it would be helpful.

 

Best regards,
Juan

Thanks for your help. It's the Nest wired 2 generation doorbell and Google account is linked to Alexa. I tried removing the Alexa skill and adding it again. Now I'm getting a 404 error after selecting the doorbell and thermostat to add. Google Home app is updated.

Any more suggestions?

Hi Djam,

 

Thanks for following up! Let's try the following troubleshooting steps to continue isolating the main inconvenience:

  • Make sure your Alexa app is updated.
  • Attempt to link the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) skill using a different phone or tablet to rule out device-specific problems.
  • Restart your Alexa dot device (please reach out to Amazon support to do so).

Please let me know how it goes. I look forward to your reply.

 

Best regards,
Juan
