Nest Hello Doorbell Install

Nothing at all. I was surprised at this. Box on front had address pal label stating nest hello and value usd of 229. Postman left with neighbours.. I'm sure they would have said if money was asked of them

I’m in the same boat as you, I’ve got one here but I’m struggling to find chimes and transformers suitable. I found plug based transformers listed for the ring pro which should work but the chime is the next concern.

Any tips would be appreciated on what you’re planning to do.

Can you post link for the transformers you've found? - btw I emailed Nest support with transformer details I have asking if it would work., They replied saying that cause the product isn't released in Europe they don't know

I’ve been through a few ring transformers, and got a 25VA Schneider myself as an expensive high quality replacement. Amazon have a few but can be hard to find, eg

https://www.amazon.co.uk/PSS10-Transformer-safety-230VAC-Mounting/dp/B01MDJWFB7/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1522838061&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=24v+bell+transformer+10VA

https://www.schneider-electric.com/en/product/15215/modular-bell-transfomer---230-v-50..60-hz---output-12..24-v---25-va/

Does anyone know if the 10VA spec is important? I might order the one in the first link from amazon.. its 24v 10va

Interested to hear how your installations go. I've an 8VA transformer that Nest suggest will require a professional installation. When I reran the test on Nest's site suggesting I'd a 10VA transformer it returned the installation guides. Maybe this is the sweet spot?

Does anyone know when Nest will offer these in Ireland officially?

this is what you get if you ask

Thank you for contacting Nest Support, my name is xxxxxxx and I will be assisting you today.

I am sorry but we do not have an accurate date for release for the Nest Hello! However, it is due for release this year. It has just been released in America and we are due for release next.

We would not recommend products that are purchased in America to be used in the UK, reasons being is that wiring and voltage requirements may differ which could affect the warranty of the product.

What I can recommend to do is to sign up for our Keep Me Posted notifications, with these email alerts you will receive a notification once a date has been announced. I have included the link below

Keep Me Posted

Again, apologies we do not have a more accurate date for release.

If you'd like to check out additional resources, feel free to visit nest.com/support. Or if you need more help with this case, visit nest.com/help. When you contact us, refer to case number xxxxxxx.

Hope you have a lovely day,

- xxxxxxxxx. | Nest Support

I got mine installed during the week, my sparks did my doorbell and 3 stats together.

It’s not great news lads. The latency to and from the camera means there’s a visible 10-20 seconds before you get notified or can interact with the person. I assume this is due to them using American cloud compute.

The AP is a Ubnt pro and is 2 foot away, so it’s not the wifi and I have a reliable 35mb upstream.

I assume its capturing video stream live?

Some of early reviews in the states say the same, instant mechanical chime, without the ring type delay. Quick google home announcements, slow phone notifications.

Eg https://www.reddit.com/r/Nest/comments/89hxvd/nest_hello_latencydelay_between_button_press_and/

I'd be ok with that...

Further to this, there's no IFTTT support for the Hello today. I'd have liked if i could get my thermostats or smoke / co2 sensors to chime for the door bell but no such luck.

I'm awaiting a sparks today to see if he can wire a chime. Will update later.

Ring or Google servers?

Nest / google. Sorry for the confusion.

Any joy with the door chime? I wonder would it make any difference to the lag?
Waiting for my electrician to fit mine. Already have wired chime so interested to get on with it now.
Thanks,
Mick

Actually yes, he wired in a Byron cheap yoke from woodies and bobs your uncle.

Your mileage may vary but it’s working great here.

Had electrician call around this evening. He doesn't know if the chime will support 24v?

I have Ring Doorbell Pro using a 24V transformer and it hasn’t blown the chime yet. Installed since last July.

Thanks,
Just had the nest hello installed. Pretty straight forward. The only slightly odd thing is if you ring the doorbell our indoor chime sounds and it's announced on Google home that someone is at the door. I get the notification on the app straight away someone is at the door but if you press the bell straight away again the door chime doesn't ring. There is about a 20 second delay before pressing the button will sound the chime. Maybe this is by design? It will stop those people ringing and ringing the bell over and over.

Have to say the video quality is excellent..

Did you have to use the angle plate on the back of the Nest Hello?

Hi, no I didn't bother with the wedge as wanted the doorbell looking directly out from the wall.
