- I pre-ordered a pair of Nest Hello video doorbells. Since this is a new product, I wanted to share the installation process. This video is guaranteed to have low production qualities and a few assumptions that probably aren't true, but hopefully having an early look at the process will have value to folks that are interested.
As a new Nest owner I am cautiously evaluating the product line. If Google continues to update the firmware of their Nest products to strengthen the interaction between the hardware (including Google Assistant), then I feel like it can compete with Amazon/Alexa/Ring. But that is only if Google commits to their hardware and software and continues to improve their features.
Please share your experiences with the Hello doorbell, and the other Nest devices. Note that I am not an electrician, nor do I claim to be a Nest expert, nor do I claim that this wiring method is right for you.
UPDATE (7/8/2021)
I've moved to a new house and brought the two Hello's with me! The new house is from the 1800's, and the doorbell is a NuTone L42 from the late fifties. I installed the Hello's just like before (with one exception, see below) and they still work well.
An image on a Google help thread shows the "official" wiring for two Hellos on a chime box:
www.googlenestcommunity.com/t...
The difference between my original wiring guess and this new diagram is that instead of pigtailing the two Connectors' gray wires on the Trans screw, they daisy chain one Connector gray wire to the gray receiver of the other Connector. This may actually be the exact same circuit, but I'd recommend their solution and appears to work for me too. Still not an electrician or a Nest expert.
I have been watching install videos since this came out and none of them have shown all the install. This video does. Thank you!!
Bill that was one of the most simple installations I've seen on any of these review videos. You made it easy to understand. To also include testing the voltage on the doorbell was just as important to me. Thanks for sharing! 👌

Yah
Been super curious as to if you could install a 2nd bell! Thanks for helping me! Best video on the hello yet!
Found this after I found out too late that Nest says 2 of these wouldn’t work on a 16v transformer. First got a amber ring instead of blue on the second camera (indicating not enough power) but I just pushed the bell and it went blue and both have worked ever since. Both metered around 16v and thanks to this video I figured out the chime box. Thanks!
Thank you!!! Your video helped me install my hello doorbell. I didn’t know what to do with the wholes that were already in the wall. Thanks for the demonstration
Thank you! This is way easier than their FAQ online... I did what you did backwards with back as main, front as secondary, same difference, works like a charm.
Very helpful - Nest support doesn't have this figured out yet and wanted to send a Pro Installer because there "would definitely be some wire splicing". This video did the trick. Thanks!
I can't thank you enough for this video. I have two nest hellos and had this buzzing sound that was driving me crazy coming from the door bell box, it was so bad that I would hear this buzzing sound upstairs. I followed your directions to the T and no more buzzing sound.... Thank you
Great video. Thank you for including the recommended voltage so I can check before I buy.
I guess this is the best explanaration of nest hello installation. Thanks
Great video for installing two nest hellos.
Thank you.
Thank you! I’ve been looking for this video all day; that is, two Nest Hello devices connected to the same chime together.

Best video I have seen on a two nest install. Thanks
I enjoyed your video. Hopefully, I will install mine successfully this weekend. Thanks bro!
OMG! Thank you for making this video. I was ready to return my second Nest Hello, could not get them to work together, then I came across your video. Not putting transformer power into the second chime adapter makes no sense to me, but it works like gangbusters!! Thank you so much!!
I had even already replaced my transformer since I figured 16V @20VA might not have been enough juice, now I've got 24V @ 30VA 😝 I don't consider replacing a 30 year old transformer a bad thing in any case. Thanks again for helping people out with your video 👍
Sir, you have nice hands. Thank you.
Worked perfectly! Thank you.
Thanks. Followed your instructions and everything worked out great.
Worked great, thanks for the help!
This is exactly how I had mine wired too... then after about 15 minutes my door bell kept chiming (electronic) and the 2nd doorbell would go offline.
I ended up putting the single wire (rear, front) into the white cable of each nest device and then putting all 3 trans together on the chime. Been good for about 12 hours now!
Came to TH-cam to see if anyone else tried this with two. Thanks for the video!

Yes mine showed yellow ring on install after leaving the transformer off one doorbell. I put a splice on the trans and it worked fine after that.
In order to connect the second hello device is it required to install the wiring for the second device. My current chime has only the front and trans but no rear. But the outside of the garage has a bell intercom system.
Thanks for the video! Was wondering how to install two, should be good to go;)
great instructional nailed it!
Thanks for doing this video. I believe that I can install my doorbell on my own. Are there 2 different doorbell chimes for each door? Just sounded like it was.
I wasn’t sure was your original wiring leaving 2nd door bell on one wire bs 2 right or did you have to use both??
Thank you great review
Will my 16v be enough for 2 nest hello doorbells or would it be safe to do just 1??? It’s currently powering 2 doorbells now just fine but I didn’t know if nest hello used more or not
What type of breaker . Should I use a single pole 15 ? Or a 20 amp ?
Great video thankyou
This worked perfectly... thanks so much!
How much more is the next hello subscription on both doorbells, and how do you go back and forth from one video doorbell to the other on your phone.
did you need nest detect on the boor if you have nest hello
My question is how many wires are on your transformer? I dont see that in the online wiring diagram. My chime shows a white front, red trans and green rear wire. If i go to my transformer, i only see a white wire and a red wire. So i assume my rear button is daisy chained to my front button. Is that how yours is wired?
Very self explanatory thank you
worked great
Can I use my existing doorbell as a garage door switch to open and close the garage
Better than the google video, thanks
Hi - using the Google home app, I’m not sure how to give them access to the nest google doorbell. I only see option to ‘invite home member’. But that gives them permissions to add and remove people. This is something I would not want. Any idea what else I can try?
do i have to use chime? is that oK to just power the door bell and use goole mini to make ring sound
Geng Pan still need a transformer to step down the power supply
Hi, I've a big problem with my Nest Hello: I have a chime powered by a transformer of 16v. The chime is Honeywell DW315S with the following connectors: A1, A2, B1, B2, AC1, AC2.
Could you help me how to connect the nest hello with the nest chime connector, with the honeywell chime and with the trasformer? Thank you very much in advance.
thanks a lot. I very appreciated it !!!
Mmm something special about the POV cam
Hey! I heard on a forum that you used two chimes with this how did you do that? As I can’t get my second upstairs chime to ring.
Apple2 Tech Here is a wiring diagram from inside my doorbell chime box, where I connected the two chime sensors:

@@wwford Hi Bill, Thank you for your diagram. If I install the Nest hello at the front porch and the regular push button at the front door, should I use the same diagram? How should I wire both with the different door bell?
Quick question, should I turn off the power to the doorbell when testing the power supply to the doorbell and also while installing? Thanks!
Absolutely turn off the power while installing. Good luck!
Bill Ford, good video...not sure if this will work with my existing doorbell but mine has a 2 wire setup system connected to the chime inside my house and outside has 2 wires that has approx 17v output. Do you think this Nest hello would work?
@@ztekz Sounds good; the Nest website says the required range is "16 - 24 V AC, and at least 10 VA (in North America)"
Id be interested to see your transformer. Do you have 3 wires on it? One for the front and rear doorbell & a trans wire?
Yes. In the video description above I put a link to a wiring diagram
Awesome vid. Only in our case, the house has NO chime and no prior electrical doorbell, hence no pre-existing wires so we couldn't really do anything ourselves. The Nest installers we contacted said they did no electrical work, utterly useless and frustrating experience.
You must physically crawl inside the attic to run wires and/or cables. For example, I had no choice to move the Nest Hello to up front porch since I built the front patio. Otherwise, package delivered guy would put my packages outside the front porch door.
Will the nest hello record audio as well as video
Hillshire94 Yes, you can turn the audio recording on or off.
Danke
We have a 16v transformer. Is this enough for TWO?
Miswired at wall chime. You are getting a single and double note chime at back door. If you connect the unused grey wire to red you should be all set. Otherwise, great tutorial!!
Not getting a double chime at back door, that was just the ding-dong sound from the Nest Hello itself. Inside the house the wall chime DINGs for back door, DING-DONGs for front door as wired in the video.
What drill was used during this video?
There is a 1/4" drill bit for anchor, not screw.
I INSTALLED IT THIS WAY BUT BACKDOOR DOES NOT ACTIVE THE CHIME INSIDE.
any possibility you might post or send the wiring diagram as described in the video , it would b God Sent. Thanks

That is a diagram of my wiring in the chime box
Thanks for showing us your excellent and well planned out install. So your original wiring was changed to match Googles? Did you keep the one connector NOT connected to anything or pair that back to the OTHER connector, just read your full comment above and the last paragraph mentions you now match what Google suggested? Thanks, great job.
Update: Just installed two (front and back) door NEST Hellos using a 16-24V transformer without any issue. Chimes are both in use and have their distinctive tone to identify them. First NEST Hello drop the voltage to 18 and the second dropped it further to 17, but either ringing never dropped it below the required NEST operation voltage of 16V. My Chime is rated for 16V. Followed the same diagram from Google you attached, lets hope it continues to work 8).
When I moved my setup to my new house, I changed it to the wiring on the Google page referenced in my Description paragraph. It worked fine the old way (for me), but I liked the way the Google drawing described it.
How did you get the wire to stay in the extender?
if you squeeze the barely movable lid of the extender, you can slide in the wire.
How in the heck did you get the extenders under the actual device?! I’m stuck on that!
Back in the hole in the hole in the wall? Just had to cram them in with a special blend of psychology and extreme violence.
One of the constraints of the Nest Hello is the lack of a battery. This means that if you do not have a doorbell already installed you can't use it. We created a plug in power supply to make it easy to power your Nest Hello anywhere you have access to an outlet. And no additional resistor required (its built into the adapter)!

You could always have a doorbell circuit installed if you don't already have an existing doorbell system.
Wat do u do when the chime has 3 wires wat terminals do u connect the adapter to ? Someone please help
imperial heating vch
,imperial heating
So you have a mechanical transformer, right? I have one, my doorbell only has 11v though. Should I update my transformer?
Where did you get the detailed install instructions?
I got a lot of info from the Nest site FAQs but it was pretty scattered
May l ask a question, please do answer me if u do know what l am not doing right. I did the installation of the net hello door bell n everything worked for about 10 days. Suddenly the bell does not ring inside the house anymore, but it rings outside n the video is working. Please can u help by telling me what to to do to get the bell to ring inside the house.?
Thanks.
Lot's of people online seem to have had this issue. They felt it was a software issue, and managed to get the mechanical doorbell to work again by toggling some settings in their Nest App:
www.reddit.com/r/Nest/comments/ipfvso/nest_hello_mechanical_chime_not_working/
I followed the wiring diagram and got my new second Hello doorbell working but previous one now says it’s offline. It has the green dot on but blue ring light is no longer on. Looks like it turns on every so often.
Could be a wiring issue, could also be that your doorbell's transformer isn't strong enough:
support.google.com/googlenest/thread/20922759/how-do-i-connect-two-nest-hello-on-one-chime?hl=en
Did you ever get this working. When mine did the green dot and no light ring the unit was DEAD. Tested transformer before install was 16v and after still 16v but Hello was off to a tech graveyard.
No need to drill new holes unless wanting to move it slightly. Could have just used inserts and plugs/glue. Good video!
THANKS NOW ILL CHANGE MINE OUT......
Was the dog I see is a golden retriever
How much voltage we Hello needs? I only have 13volt ac
16Vac with 10VA of power per doorbell. One 20VA, 16Vac transformer will power 2 doorbells, for example. 10VA per doorbell is nominal - not exact.
@@hmcgrath100 I wonder that my second door belt has no power on.
is that a platinum wedding band? I think i have the same
This is the second home in which th-cam.com/users/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU we've replaced our "regular" doorbell with a Ring video doorbell and we really enjoy it. It is very easy to install and it works very well, with a clear picture through the app and good in-home use (we added the chime, which is also easy to install and doesn't require another thought to use).
Can you leave the original chime out and use Google speaker instead? Thans you
Yes. Google recommends you still use a Chime Connector even if you are wiring without a chime. See: support.google.com/googlenest/thread/25070366/adding-nest-hello-with-no-existing-doorbell-i-m-wiring-one-in?hl=en
I can’t put 2 in the same account, I call next and they say I have to create another account and paid extra
Can you update the description to say something along the lines of "installing 2 nest hello doorbells"? It wasn't clear from this title that this would be beneficial for people installing multiple doorbells
Done.
Thanks Bill. I also found this wiring guide from Google on how to connect two chime connectors to one chime as well: support.google.com/googlenest/thread/20922759?hl=en
Basically, you clip the gray wires of the two chime connectors together and the remaining gray wire end connects to the Trans on your chime.
@@grip_bomb I should have read your comment earlier, I found the same diagram!
So you can leave the camera on just like the regular nest cams, hah? :-)
Yes, the cameras are always streaming
Wow 2 Nest doorbells,
Thats going to be a ton of data being use over your internet connect..it looks like the live feed was buffering due to the blue circle spinning when watching the live feed..
After a few months with these, I can say I haven't noticed any difference on my wireless performance in the house, or in my internet throughput in general. I don't have them set to Max resolution.
It's not that much. Even with a lot of activity they top out around 300-400GB a month. That's only something like 150KB/s throughout a month, and that's at the high end. I have a Nest Hello and 2 Cam IQs and the 3 combined use around 700GB per month.
Better than ring
So what does the Chime Sensors do at this point? what happens I don't use it?
The Chime connector is required to isolate the power circuit of the striker box from the power circuit of the Hello doorbell. This lets your wiring supply continuous power to the Hello doorbell, without sending continuous power to the striker mechanism. I would definitely say the Chime connector is required to avoid unexpected and undesirable results.
Mine keeps going off line.
Going to sell mine and get a Ring
That’s because your transformer is weak son
Too quiet but good video!
How is your doorbells working. Your chime connectors are connected completely wrong. There should be nothing left unconnected and the Nest chime connector should both not be connected to the chime terminals. The chime connectors are made to be connected in series. Where the trans wire bridges one connector to the other. Then one connector connects to the chime front and trans and the other connects to the rear. You can find the wiring diagram on Nest.
Its just not easy to drill into the brick
Every homes need nest to caught bad peoples
For Christmas, you should ask for new tools.
Upon watching the first 15 seconds of the video, I stopped not watching a guide from a guy who has that much trouble opening the box lol
My target audience are folks that last more than 15 seconds, cowboy.
All I can say is this video is incorrect- do not follow this video because you will not have doorbells that ring inside - the wiring inside the door chime will not ring - only the outside units / cameras will ring.
Leaving turbine grey “pill” connectors unconnected is incorrect. I even was in the phone with Nest support and he said “this is incorrect”.
I plan on making a video that is correct based on Nest wiring instructions
All I can say is that it did work, and in my description above I referenced a link to the Google suggested wiring method that uses both gray receivers.
@@wwford well I’m sorry if I’m being rude in any way, not my intent, but I followed this example where one grey “pill” wire end was left unused and that did not work. If that worked for you then what can I say other than that.
I now understand how to do the internal wiring but it’s best to show that with a diagram Vs trying to explain it in words.
I will not buy this because of fees and no sd card slot.
Eye on art then why are you watching the video?
Nest is junk ! Don’t wast your money .
What do you use then if it sucks
I retract my previous statement. I got a lemon. Returned it . Got another. Works great. Don’t ask why I decided to give a second chance. I really don’t know why I did . But the second one works great. Only thing nest could do is make the contacts a little bigger and not so close together.
