My neighbors ring camera will announce when it’s recording someone. Can I do the same with my nest camera battery?
I’ve tried doing an automation that detects motion and make an announcement with the text of what I want to say. So far it only announces on my nest speakers. Not through the speakers that are in the camera.

Hi ISUGraber,
Thank you for posting in the community. I understand you’re looking for your Nest Camera (battery) setting up some routines to announce with a text to use when someone is in front of the Nest Camera as well as to start recording. Let’s work together to find a solution.
