Pro Tip: Installation & Integration
- Voltage Check: Before installing, ensure your existing doorbell wiring provides at least 16V AC. If your current chime is weak or buzzing, you may need a simple transformer upgrade.
- Google Home App: This 2nd Gen model is managed entirely through the Google Home app, offering a faster and more unified experience compared to the older Nest app.
- Indoor Chime: You can set the doorbell to ring your existing mechanical/digital chime, or use your Google Nest Mini/Hub speakers as indoor chimes.
- Snow Finish Care: The matte Snow finish is elegant but can collect dust near busy roads. A quick wipe with a damp cloth once a month keeps the sensors and lens performing at their best.
