Google Nest door Bell changed from Battery to Wired

[Nicko2525]

Just install a small doorbell transformer for my Nest Doorbell. Originally set up as Battery only, do i need to change any settings now it is wired ? - I know on the original set up there was an option for Wired or Battery.

We have the older, 1st gen Google Nest Hello Doorbells, but my suspicion is that the choice between "Wired" and "Battery" for the battery doorbell is an option that only presents itself during the installation. If you can't find anything in your battery doorbell's settings, you just might have to remove the doorbell from the Google Home app, do a factory reset (NOT a "Restart", as documented here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9252162) if that does not happen automatically during the removal, and then reinstall it in the Google Home app.

Hey everyone,

@Nicko2525, thanks for reaching out to the Community. I wanted to check in and see if you’re still in need of any help. Have you had any chance to see MplsCustomer’s response above? If yes, how was it?

Also, here’s a handy guide to learn more about how to install the Nest Doorbell (battery).

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I appreciate the help, MplsCustomer.

Regards,

Thanks, App simply shows it as "connected to power" instead of "battery percentage" so i will leave as is without doing a reset and see what happens
