Thank you, Just bought it 12/7/18. Don't have the money to hire an install. Gonna do it myself.(Nervous as heck) But this video really helped me. Thank a bunch!!!
I was a bit freaked out by it too, but there's a very specific walk through in the app that takes you step by step through everything. You'll do great!
@@jfauntl1 That's great! To add it to your Google Home you need to add in the Google Home app. It should search for the device on its own and ask you if you want to add it. If you Chromecast you can watch your Nest cam on your TV too. You can just say, Hey Google, show me Nest Hello on my Chromecast, and it will pop up. It's pretty cool. Have a very Merry Christmas!
For my doorbell wiring? @@jimklemens5018 I live in an old farmhouse. That's how it was wired so that's what I had to work with. All of the wiring to connect the Nest came with the kit.
Jim Klemens I guess they installed the door bell before I moved in? I have no idea and didn’t even think of it. Does it really matter? And yes, the hole in the door frame is fresh because we connected the nest door bell.
Thanks Shelly. Do you know if the wires in the chime are interchangeable? As in, after we connect it to the Nest piece, could we put either of the extenders into the Trans and Front points?
I don't have my doorbell open to take a peek, but from what I can remember the wires for front and trans were interchangeable. It worked the first time I connected it. I also know the Nest app gives you different instructions depending on your doorbell wiring.
Hi - using the Google 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?
If you open the Nest app you'll see different doorbell configurations. You can choose which one is most like your own doorbell and the app will walk you through set up.
Shelly Wutke // Survivemag I watched your video again and it still looks yellowish orange and or over saturated..maybe it has something to do with the color of your outside wall..
The nest failed in the door bell transformer .. it’s so dumb to connect those wires into those plastic pill shape plastic things . Trying to push those in was very annoying . We had the Ring and it was easier . And then we have to pay to pay for storage ? Why ? We already payed 100-150 and the stupid door bell . This ain’t the PlayStation network where we can play online for 50 per year so why the heck am I going to pay for storage ? It should be free and included with the damn doorbell .
If I understood from a Nest video, when inserting the wires into the Nest dongle connections (the pill shaped things) you squeeze the ends and it opens up slightly for an easier insertion.
I'm not sure what you're talking about. I followed the instructions Nest provided to the letter. Wiring this doorbell was extremely simple, so I don't get your comment at all.
Good job shelly, you really helped this old school electrician today👍
Exactly what we were looking for.
Muy buen video de verdad la felicito, muestra específicamente como hacer sin tantos inconvenientes
wonderful video ..continue the good work

What size is your transformer you are using?
Great video just hooked mine up. Love it
where did you find your transformer for the doorbell?

@@nextrider123 i mean where in the house
@@GitSumGaming it's usually off an outlet in the basement

Good video but confusing where connecting nest wires to chime wire... Color codes
Hi Shelly, did you have to shut off the power to the transformer when installing the unit?
Hua Bills yes I did.
Interesting .. but my chime connector has 2 wires?

My transformer/chime box is making a buzzing sound. Help!! There’s something wrong and I don’t know what. I have two doorbells in the house.
1:12 well bless your heart,, cause theres no way in hell im hand-turning screws through wood,, lol hello dewault
I'm a Ryobi girl myself. Ha. I only did that by hand because I couldn't shoot the video with a drill in my hand.
Do I have to disconnect any electrical switch ?
Definitely.
My door chime had a transformator how is the diagram with it ? :'(

Where’s the transformer In The video
I don’t think that’s the transformer, I think she misspoke. That is the chime. I think her transformer is in the attic or utility room.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
hooking up with just wire without the connection that comes with it does not work it slips out
Liban Abu you definitely need the Nest connector.
Why does the live video look yellowish orange..?
I don't see yellowish/orange on the live view? It's actually the clearest video I've ever seen in a home security camera.

Could very well be! It's a pretty bright yellow and it was a nice, sunny day when I was taking the video.
Very helpful. Thanks.

The most important parts are vague as shit
You do not know how to wire anything correctly. I would not trust your connections.
