Please stop phone showing timer notifications

[LJRossiter108]

I have a Google home and 5 minis around my house.  When I set an alarm on any of the minis, my new Google pixel phone also alerts me when the timer has finished.

I don't want a phone notification.

To clarify ... I'm in the kitchen. "Hey Google, set a timer for 5 mins". The mini correctly responds, and sets the timer.

When the mini rings to say the timer is finished, my phone also makes a sound and gives a notification.

How do I stop the notifications on my phone?

Thanks!

Hi LJRossiter108,

Thanks for reaching out.

Is your phone an Android device? When "Do Not Disturb" mode is on for your phone, you won’t receive any app notifications by default. However, you can set the Nest app or Home app to override Do Not Disturb mode so that you can still receive important notifications.

Critical alerts let you know about important events, like a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm, even if your phone's volume is set to low and you've turned on Do Not Disturb. To receive critical alerts from Google Nest, you'll need to turn them on both in General notifications in the Home app and in your phone's settings.

To set up critical alerts:

1. Open the Home app tap Settings Notifications General notifications.
2. Turn on critical alerts.
3. Check for a banner at the top of the screen.
   • If there's a banner that says "Critical alerts are turned off in this device's settings", tap Turn on critical alerts, then follow the steps to complete setup in your phone's settings.
   • If there's no banner, you're all done.

Feel free to respond if you have additional questions and I'd be happy to help.

Best,

Princess
