The battery nest shows video on my hub when someone rings the bell, but
it doesn't actually ring or announce, so if I don't see it, I have no
way of knowing someone rang the bell. I have it set to announce.
I actually got mine to work by factory resetting my 1st gen hub and my
minis. I had already reset the doorbell with no success, but resetting
the hub, etc solved it!
I finally solved the problem! I found how to do a factory reset on my
best display and mini, both first gen, and that must have updated their
software. They all chime now! I didn't have to buy serving gen!
