To change the wifi on the google nest doorbell, you factory reset the doorbell, remove from the google home app, then add back as a new device.

My router got reset so I had to get all my google nest devices back on line. If it wasn’t because of this video I wouldn’t have done it. The official google app didn’t help I felt very frustrated till I found your video. Additionally you make it look easy but the fact that we have to go through all of that just because of a wifi network change blows my mind completely.

We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version kzfaq.infoUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.

This may be a dumb question but if I unplug the camera from the power connection would that be considered a reset? Just wondering because my camera is in a spot where I can't reach it and I don't have a ladder, but I can reach the power connection.

@SaltyTechSupport Жыл бұрын

No such thing as a dumb question! On a nest camera, no. There's a battery in the camera that would keep it powered even if you unplugged the power cable. Unfortunately they all require access to the reset button.

I installed a new modem/WiFi thingy. Had problems installing nest doorbell, but, your video helped solve that. Now I need help connecting my Nest Mini Speakers - totally confused. Got them connected and now they're not. And, I have five smart light bulbs - three from Home Depot and two from KASA. Of course, they're not so smart and I need a reconnect. Can you help me with that?

@SaltyTechSupport Жыл бұрын

Not too familiar with the speakers, but the principle should remain the same: Remove from the home app, press and hold the reset button on the bottom of it and wait for the speaker to either jingle or tell you it's about to be reset. After it resets go back to add device > new device > select the nest speaker and follow the prompts. Again that's just an assumption, but it's a good idea for a future tutorial! What brand of smart bulbs do you have?

Hello, great video. Question, have you experienced a NEST doorbell that originally would CHIME(ding-dong sound when button pressed) on the phone(and would also ring mechanical indoors), but now we have noticed it longer rings a chime on the phone when pressed? I am experiencing a button press of the doorbell now only chimes the indoor mechanical chime, but no longer "CHIME's" on the phone, I only get a notification (email or text) on the phone. It seems maybe a firmware update removed the phone actually CHIMING, as I have noticed other folks experiencing this same issue. Any thoughts on this, checking with Google/Nest/etc.. does not seem to provide a solid answer or confirmation...?

@SaltyTechSupport 3 ай бұрын

I haven't, but I just did a quick search and apparently google removed the feature. :/ If you google "google nest doorbell chime phone" the first result should be a discussion in the nest community forum about how it was removed. Not much help, I know, but I hope I answered your question! 😄

Power cycle your phone (turn it off completely and turn it back on again after about 30 seconds) bring the doorbell and the phone both inside close to your router or wifi access point, open the google home app, and start the process again. Let me know if you have any luck!

@SaltyTechSupport 4 ай бұрын

Yeah usually it will try to use your phone as a bridge to your wifi network when initially connecting, and it'll try to force a bluetooth connection. If you already have the doorbell next to you when it gives you that message, make sure bluetooth is on, or try turning it off to see if it lets you continue without it.

How do you restart the doorbell camera without having to reset and lose all the videos?

@SaltyTechSupport Жыл бұрын

You'll probably have to download the videos to your device before you do the reset. I don't think google gives you the option to keep them in the home app, but it should give the option to download clips you want. Look for 3 dots on or near the clip that you want in the app, press it, and you should get some options. One of them should say "download".

@fr3einfo745 Жыл бұрын

@@SaltyTechSupport just figured it out. There’s a small hole in the back of the camera for reset. If you use a pin and hold it for 5 seconds, it will restart the doorbell camera without wiping it out. But if you hold it for 12 seconds, it will do a factory reset which wipes out all the video history.

Remove the db from the wall mount, bring it inside and plug it in to a charger, then try to view live video. If it says "doorbell is charging" or "doorbell unmounted" you know that it's online at least. Also, head out to where your db is mounted, and make sure your phone is connected to wifi, then run a speed test to see what the speeds are out by the doorbell. Anything less than 5 megs down/up tends to give the doorbell issues.
