In the information is says that it connects to existing Chime. The ones I have don't stay wifi connected. Can you tell me what I can use with this to hear it in the house when someone is at the door and/or rings the door bell? null

Google Home Minis can play the Nest's Doorbell tones through their speakers. I believe you have to set it up to do so in the Google Home App on your phone.

*** Also, make sure your WiFi router isn't overloaded. My Xfinity router/modem can only handle 10 WiFi devices at once, and this is pretty typical of most Cable Providers routers/modems. This will cause random items to drop off your WiFi connection when more than 10 devices are using it.

The new Nest Doorbell is designed to replace your existing doorbell. If you plan to use your Indoor Chime, you’ll need a transformer with 8-24 VAC, max power of 40 VA and frequency of 50-60Hz, and you should check first that your doorbell system will work. You can also use Google Assistant-enabled speakers or displays to announce when someone is at the door.

If your Nest Doorbell won’t stay connected, we suggest the following:
- Check if the doorbell has power.
- Check and make sure you have the latest app version.
- Check if your camera or doorbell feels really warm or cold as your doorbell might disconnect from Wi-Fi to help protect itself.
