Hello there, DMIL. Thank you for bringing the installation issue with your Nest Doorbell (Battery) to our attention. We apologize for any difficulties you encountered during the process.

Our goal is to make the Google Home app your central control hub for managing all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. By using the Google Home app with your Nest Doorbell (Battery), you can enjoy several benefits, including:
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification, and Security Checkup.
- Seamless integration of your Google Nest devices and services. For example, if you have a Nest camera and a Nest Hub, simply say, ""Hey Google, show me the backyard camera"" to stream your camera's feed to your display without any additional setup.
- One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
- Consistent alignment of your homes and home members across the Nest and Google Home apps.

For setting up your Nest Doorbell (Battery), we highly recommend using the Google Home app. Once you've completed the setup, you can then add your existing Nest devices to the Google Home app as well.

Hi Rblue99, thanks for posting your review for Nest Doorbell (battery). It's unfortunate to hear that you're experiencing some battery issues with your device. The battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature and selected camera settings. We recommend adjusting the video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events and using Activity Zones to monitor specific areas to extend the battery life of your Nest Doorbell. If you still have to charge the battery more often than you'd like, connect your doorbell to a power socket with the included or optional power adapter. Your doorbell always uses battery power. The power from the outlet gradually charges your doorbell's battery, so you won't have to manually charge it as often.


If you've tried this already or want alternative solutions, we recommend that you reach out to our support team so we can assist you further in improving your experience with the device. Please contact us on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Hi SandipK, thanks for letting us know about the issue with your Nest Doorbell (Battery). Streaming issues are mostly related to a possible congestion of your network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space. Once you confirm the presence of congestion, we recommend contacting your Internet Service Provider to check your connection and upgrade it if needed.

We also recommend checking for possible sources of interference such as the thick walls and appliances in your home. Moving or adjusting your router where it can get better signal transmission to your Nest Doorbell (Battery) can be helpful with the issue. If the issue persists, please make sure to contact our support team so we can assist you further with your support concerns here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Hi Gottahaveit, thanks for sharing a review about your experience with Nest Doorbell (Battery), and we’re sorry to hear that it wasn’t ideal for you.

Our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. And we also want to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices. While the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app, users with previous versions of Nest cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams.

We understand that you have returned it as having to use two different apps was a problem for you. But if you’d like to give Nest doorbell another try in the future, our dedicated team will always be ready to help and guide you with using it effectively in the Google Home app, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Hey there, Username1! Thanks for the feedback you shared, and we’re glad you like the battery life of the Nest Doorbell (battery). We understand that having a light (besides the status light and light ring around the button) can be ideal for you. We’d be happy to pass this information along to the right team for future improvements.

We hope you’re getting the most benefits out of the doorbell’s smart features. If you bump into any concerns around the functionality or performance of the doorbell, visit us here and we’ll gladly help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Hello there, Sundy. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Nest Doorbell (battery). We’re sorry to hear that your expectations are not met.

The battery life depends on factors including activity, temperature, and doorbell settings that you select. You can extend the battery life by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events to monitor specific areas. Check this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611

You can choose which events your doorbell can detect and record (people, motion, package, etc.). Besides using activity zones, you can change the settings like adjusting video quality, wake-up sensitivity, length of video clips, time between recorded events .

A chime is not included with every purchase of Nest doorbells. Thankfully, you can connect a Google speaker or display and set up visitor announcements to get notified when someone rings your doorbell when you’re home. You'll only get visitor announcements on your speakers and displays if they are set up in the same home as your doorbell in the Home app. Also, if you have Alexa, Google offers a Smart Home skill for integrating your Nest doorbell with Amazon's Alexa home control. Alexa can announce when someone presses the doorbell or when the doorbell detects motion or events. Visit the Google Nest Help Center to learn about how to control the Nest devices with Amazon Alexa.
