4 Ways to Wire the Nest Doorbell Battery

On your test how can somebody with short legs reach the door bell !!! lol good video

Fantastic video, far surpasses Google's official instructions. They should pay you a commission for this haha.

Great video. I currently have the wired Nest Doorbell and need to replace it with this one because the other one is NOT compatible with ADT+ Home Security. Can I bypass the compatibility check and go straight to the wiring for charging? Thanks.

TIL multimeters are "old fashioned" lol.

Hi, please, help me, I need to connect a Google Nest Doorbell to a chime of 110v. How do I connect the transformer to 24v without affect chime voltage?

So I have a question, if you wire it with the mechanical/electrical chime, is your nest camera charging? i mean the circuit will be broken right so how does it work, I am having trouble understanding it...

My nest battery doorbell is wired but it’s still using the battery. Any idea why?

Junk, said it would work with 12 to 20 volts, got it installed THEN it said LOW INPUT VOLTAGE even though it had 18 volts supplied.

I'm planning to install the Google Nest doorbell (battery) choosing the wired installation for my Nest. This will be a new install by an electrician as I don't currently have any doorbell or chime. The electrician confirmed he will provide the transformer (does this need to be 24 volts?). Also, please recommend any chimes (mechanical and digital) that are compatible with this type of installation.

A 16V transformer is not enough to stop the battery from draining. It kept draining this the doorbell turn off. That was what happened to my battery doorbell. I just ordered the 24V transformer.

I upgraded my transformer and it still runs out of battery but recharges shortly after ive missed alot of important delivery drop offs and other events

Where are the wires from the the doorbell going to? (The ones you hooked up to the doorbell)
Are they directly connected to the chime or are they going to the transformer?
I'm a bit confused.

There's 2 wires (red/white) going from the chime to the transformer.
Then all of a sudden there are two red/white wires at the front door. Where do they come from?
(I've got a new installation and don't know how to hook it up).

This video was very informative. I also have the nest battery that is hard wired. Is there a way to add the device back to google home if it was removed. I deleted the doorbell on google hime and can't add it back. I have gone through the steps, to add it back, but I keep getting a, "something went wrong" at the end of the setup. Should the doorbell be rebooted, and if so do I need to turn off the power to the doorbell since it's battery, but wired? TIA.

if you wire up a second gen wireless battery google nest doorbell and i lose power will the doorbell switch to battery power automatically?

omggg the baby hang testing the chime!!! How cuuute lol

Doorbell transformers are RARELY located in the furnace. In most homes, the doorbell transformer is mounted on an electrical box located near the front door, in the garage or the basement.

Thank you very much for this information. Im currently installing myself a Nest cam and door bell, not easy lol. I apricate ur posting :)

Is there a significant delay between pressing the button from the outside and the notifications on the speakers/phone?

So is it always better to buy Nest Door Battery and wire it than just buying a Nest Doorbell (Wired)?

Thanks for the video Brett. Can you have this model wired using a Nest speaker as the chime (as if it wasn't wired)?

Great video, stupid question. My doorbell stopped working. I was going to just replace the chime. I bought a nest and was wondering if I could just connect the red to the white wire where the chime was and wire the nest outside?

Can't you test the voltage coming into the chime instead of looking for a transformer that you may have no idea where to find it?

Why the hell is the door bell transformer on inside the furnace?

so... it's possible to chrck doorbell wire voltage right at the doorbell wire, right? without oocating transformer?

This is extremely dangerous (and illegal) in the wrong hands.

great tutorial Brett, can you have two cell phones connected at the same time, for example my wife's and mine?

Hi, if we press a second-time battery doorbell, a speaker inside the home, does the google nest speaker play sound inside? It is not. I tried with the battery. I wonder, have you ever tried with a power connector?

Thanks for the nice and beautiful explanations.

Why not just buy the wired version if you're going to just wire it anyways? It's smaller and you never have to charge it. I don't know, it just seemed to me like the battery version was just for people that don't have the wiring or proper voltage.

Thank you so much for your time

The best review ever for Nest Doorbell Battery, I couldn't find a clear answer if the battery version can be wired or not . but you made everything clear. Thanks

Nice video ac 😂

I do not recommend any Nest or Google product. I have purchased a Nest Doorbell and a Nest camera and I wish I did not. I pay for a yearly Aware subscription and when there is a problem with billing or camera you can no longer talk to a customer service agent live or by text. Nest / Google do not care about supporting any customer since you can not contact them. If I had a free aware service then fine but that is not the case. How can a company that charges a yearly fee not have any customer service. Nest / Google is set up for failure. They gave already failed. Looks like they want to shut down their business. Nest / Google is the worst company I have ever seen.

Good video, very thorough. As an electrician, I would ask you to stop referring to household voltage as 110. It hasn't been 110 in many many years. It's always 120.

The house I'm currently in actually didn't have a doorbell, period... No chime or button! So the battery doorbell was a amazing product, as I already had speakers throughout my house, and then the doorbell I just charge every few months. Its set to notify through the speakers, and no wiring had to be done! It wouldn't be hard to fish some wiring through the basement, but I'm happy with the battery life as is. Great video!

Merci , cette vidéo va bien me servir surtout car j'ai aussi un carillon filaire mécanique

I've never seen a doorbell transformer that had been installed in a furnace. Must be a regional thing, because there's no basement, etc.

sorry i don't understand, if i wire it then will it stay charged/powered or do i need to unplug it and power it each time?

Every time I had a question while watching the video, the answer came up shortly as well. Very Informative video covering all options. Great job. 👍

This video was better than the Google instructions video. Thanks, they should have hired you.

Great video, very well explained. Thank you!

Maybe you should update the video. I got no sensitivity setting. Only length of video.

What if I misplaced the little adapter you used to punch onto the existing wiring and screw into the back of the doorbell? Are they available for purchase anywhere? I can't seem to find them.

I have the ADT doorbell Google nest battery form I would like to change it over to electric they having an adapter that you are to the doorbell and run it through the wall my question is the battery camera is it compatible to put the adapter wires to it will it work or will I have to get a whole new camera wired already is there a difference. I see the two screws where the wires would go and only thing I need to do is to plug it into my end door electric plug and run the wire through the holes and connected to the screws and I do that.

Can you used the power adaptor (wired) with the second gen Nest Doorbell or just the first gen?

Why not just use the multimeter to test voltage at the door bell button?

Why would someone put the transformer to the doorbell in the furnace? 😳🤷‍♀️. That’s crazy
