 when viewing my nest doorbell I get this exclamation mark in a triangle and I'm completely stumped as to what it's trying to tell me.

At this point I've just given up as it works and nobody seems to know why it's even displaying the symbol.

Hey Red_Fox,

 

Thanks for sharing details about the issue here. It's strange that the Nest doorbell icon on your Google Nest Hub screen has an exclamation point. Let's check what happened: When did you notice it? Are you having issues streaming your Nest doorbell via voice command or Nest Hub screen? Also, please share the troubleshooting steps that you've done.

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Cheers,

Muddi

It has been there since the first day I set it up, Everything appears to be working properly. Streaming works, audio works, recording works, voice commands work.

I have not done any troubleshooting because I don't know where to begin as there is no information on this in the app.

Hey Red_Fox,

 

I appreciate your quick response. Please try syncing all your devices to refresh the settings. You can say "Hey Google, sync all my devices," let's see if that removes the exclamation mark on the screen. If it's still the same, remove and re-add your Nest doorbell on the Google Home app.

 

Keep us posted.

Thanks, I have tried this, It tells me my phone isn't set up and recommends setting it up again, but doesn't offer any insight as to how. Does this mean I should start completely over with everything?

Hey Red_Fox,

 

To confirm, is it your phone or the doorbell?

The doorbell is having an the symbol on it. It's just frustrating that there is apparently more issues and no instruction on how to fix any of it. This has got to be the worst UI I've had to work with.

.... Am I supposed to uninstall everything and start over? You keep asking if I am able to set it up again but haven't answered if I'm supposed to uninstall everything and start over or if there's something else I'm supposed to be doing.

Hey Red_Fox,

 

Sorry for the confusion. Please go ahead and reset your Nest doorbell and Nest Hub so we can check if that makes any difference.

Am I supposed to start over? This was not explained.

I am encountering the same issue on both my Google Hub and Hub Max. I can view the displays from one another as expected on the cameras preview screen, but my outside cameras and Nest doorbell display the same exclamation points until I click into them.


Searching for resources online have only turned up this post.

Hey Red_Fox,

 

I just wanted to follow up on this. Are you able to reset your devices?

 

@Randomscreename: Could you share the troubleshooting steps that you've done?

 

Cheers,

- I have power-cycled all devices

- I Factory reset the doorbell and one external camera (have two)

- I have logged out of my account and back in

- I have turned all cameras off, then on again.

- I have deleted camera history and re-enabled.
