custom notification nest doorbell for iPhone

[jeupes]

This is honestly the first thing Google should have done, before all the nonsense about zones, pets, packages, etcetera:

A simple feature that allows you to choose your own notification for when the doorbell rings on an iPhone. My phone buzzes all day with standard notifications I want to check later, but when my doorbell rings I want to know immediately!
How on earth was this not the first thing on your backlog? Honestly, the whole thing is basically useless like this. I would really like to know what the plans are for adding this this feature.
At the moment my Nest doorbell is just a fancy way of knowing who all the people were that I didn't open the door for while I was just at home!

If I would've known I'd have bought a ring video doorbell! Hope a lot of potential customers read this before they buy this useless Nest doorbell!

Hi Archie,

I've seen your reply, but honestly, it's so meaningless I don't really know what kind of response from me you were expecting?  You hear me and I should be checking updates on the community page? I'd really rather not, and just want my video doorbell to be useful to me, which it's not at the moment. 
I actually hooked it back on to my old ringing bell just so that I can hear it inside my house when I'm home.

No hard feelings by the way, I know this probably isn't something you can fix, but that doesn't take away from the fact I bought I useless piece of technology which misses a key feature that should have been on the top of everyone's backlog when it was developed. To me, it's not even an MVP without it, since (to me) Minimum Viability would have meant distinguishing someone at the door from a notification from my calendar/text/etc.

Thanks for the reply anyway.
