Nest Doorbell integration

netregha · October 2, 2020, 7:12pm

Has anyone recently gotten Nest doorbell configured with HA?

I would so like to be able to get this facility so that when someone rings I can setup some additional automations.

thanks
Darren

I’m trying to look into this as well, I got the nest integration to work with showing the camera, but I don’t see any way of getting the doorbell press picked up yet.

See the integration instructions https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/nest/#automation-and-device-triggers and let me know if you have any more specific questions.

Hello,
If you have setup correctly, if you go into automations for example, and in the trigger you add Device and your doorbell, there should be four triggers. One of those is ‘Doorbell pressed’.
So I have an automation that when the doorbell is pressed after sunset, it will automatically turn on my porch light
Hope that helps you.

I redid the integration at some point, and after doing that I named the doorbell differently to not get it mixed up with sensors. So for me, I was looking for the wrong device, after I searched for the right one, I got the device triggers shown as it should

Oh, btw. I also got it set up in Node red now, lovely.

Hi, you will need to use ‘binary_sensor.front_door_ding’ this change’s from an off state to on.

There is no binary_sensor for nest videodoorbell, there is a device event.

Hi!
I need some help. I have a nest doorbell (wired) and want to be able to use the event when the doorbell is pressed and if a person i spotted. I have had the nest integration almost a year, but all I can retreive is the video feed. Not any events. In my nest.yaml I have only these lines:

Do I have to add anything more?

Andreas, as per my post above, they will appear as triggers. So you if you create an automation then you use device doorbell and you will have 4 triggers available.

Person detected, Sound detected, Motion detected, and doorbell doorbell pressed

hope that helps

Thanks Darren!
Since I don’t use HA:s native automations, but something else (Multisystem reactor/MSR - similar to node red), it wasn’t easy to find it. But now I found the same view as in your screen shoot. Thanks!
