    Was working great for 8 months. Then, when I removed the doorbell to charge the battery, The key hole seized up. I cannot get it to lock back into the bracket. It falls off. Now the Google Nest Doorbell has become a $180 worthless paperweight.

    Perfect for renters. Only caviat is that it is not compatible with the nest app. You have to use Google home.

      Hi there GamerT, we appreciate your feedback on Nest Doorbell (Battery) and we're glad to hear that the awesome features suit your needs. However, we're sorry to hear that the move to the Google Home app didn't quite meet your expectations.

      We understand that long time Nest user, like you, have enjoyed viewing your Google Nest devices from the Nest app. We wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Google Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. We also wanted to create an integrated experience where you can control your Nest thermostats with other Google Nest speakers and displays. We hope you will consider keeping your Nest camera, and if you're willing to try, you may use the Google Home app to control your old Nest cameras. Learn more about it by visiting this page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9249866

      For any other support needs may arise with your Nest Doorbell (Battery) and other Google Nest products, just reach out to us here:  https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    When someone rings this doorbell, it will not transfer to my iPhone, whether I am at home or not. I tried for several days to get some IT support, no luck. Returned it.

    I have had some issues with this doorbell. When I try to view the person at door, it states that there was a problem with video screening. It takes some effort to bypass this .

      Hi Joan, thanks for letting us know the details of your feedback with using the Nest Doorbell (battery). We’re sorry to hear you’ve had some issues viewing your doorbell video, and we appreciate all the time and effort you’ve spent on this.

      Doorbell issues and Home App issues can be related to several reasons. In the event that your doorbell or Google Home app is behaving differently, we can try the steps below that may help:
      - Make sure that your phone or tablet is up to date, with the correct Date & Time settings.
      - Check if your doorbell and Home app are both online.
      - Close other apps running in the background.
      - Sign out of the Home app and sign back in.
      - Restart your phone or tablet.
      - Uninstall the Home app and reinstall it.
      - Try an alternate compatible phone or tablet if available.

      Meanwhile, we also suggest having the latest version of the Google Home app as it may improve your camera viewing experience, including playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the video history view. If help is needed, we’d be more than happy to provide you with service and assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    It’s a doorbell that does what it says it does. I’m not in “wow” mode here. What can I say about that but to only give it three stars. I am not impressed. Just give me my 25 Best Buy points.
