Doorbell notifications delay + app response takes too long

I have my speakers (both 1st gen and 2nd gen) connected to my Hello Doorbell. The notification rings on the speakers. While it works it is too slow to be practical. 

 

I need to respond quickly when I cannot open immediately. Especially delivery people will leave quickly if there is no response.

To answer via doorbell audio the actions are; doorbell rings, electronic chime goes of, delay, speaker notification triggers. Then I need to open the (loading), click on the video (loading), press 'talk button'. 

 

This sequence can take quite some time. And I also need to have my phone ready to open the app. 

This slowness effectively makes the function quite useless to quickly respond to people at the door. 

Questions :

  • Is there any way to minimize the delay on the notification playing on the Nest speakers?
  • And is there a way to respond by talking via doorbell quicker?
  • Is a Nest hub any faster? Can I expect (near) immediate response on the hub? It would be great to have ring and video + audio instantly like with a classic house intercom system.
  • Does it matter for responding time a Nest Hub is on Wifi or Ethernet?
