Happy Saturday everyone! Something a bit different today! I've not done a tutorial in a long time, and I thought I'll do something easy. Turns out Android TV has changed a lot in the last year or two and Nest have totally bollocksed up their Android TV app so this was an utter nightmare to achieve 🤣 Easy to replicate though now I've gone through that pain so I hope this one helps you all out! There's no sponsorship on this one so if you fancy buying me a beer as a thank you then the details are below, as usual no pressure at all to do so...

Morning Paul, I have NVIDIA shield, and if I ask google assistant to stream front yard camera to Nvida shield, it just does? Do you need this program if you want it to interrupt t.v??? I have nest thermostat, but only use Voger Cams...When I tell home assistant.... ...home assistant.....
Well this is brilliant Paul! The only thing that could make it better is if there was some company that made the software for all these devices that could implement a simple button for this. 🤣
I worked on CT, MRI scanners for 30+ yrs and this procedure is more involved that operating one of those... It proves Paul Hibbert is a smart cookie besides being a funny guy!
Attaching the doorbell to the mount is a little difficult but once it locks into place it seems extremely sturdy. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxxHZwMa8CsRjYhf9s4W8w0Dwm47uytWOp I replaced my regular doorbell with this and hard wired it in, using my existing wires and mechanical chime. It works perfect so far and integrates perfectly with my blink camera system. It also works seamlessly with Alexa
Hi Paul - Hope you enjoyed the beer I sent your way last week. I had to figure out what the average UK beer price was which was rather fun stuff. This video ... It was excellent. I no longer watch TV but this is EXACTLY the kinda thing my late husband wanted to figure out how to do 5yrs ago. He got something working but it still required he grab his Android tablet. I learn so much from watching your videos and having done written tutorials I can really appreciate what a pain doing a video version would be. You nailed it. Cheers from Australia!
Thank you so much. You'll likely get a thank you from me by email eventually. Things have been hectic this past month! Hope I did your husband proud ❤️
I've got a reliable Aeon motion sensor at my front door that never false triggers. I just set an Alexa routine which basically goes 'if sensor triggers, then tell alexa to show me the front door camera'. The feed then pops up on my lounge echo show.
Thank you Paul. That was brilliant. I'm just super disappointed that in 21st century people have to go through all this procedure instead of just click on the phone "show the doorbell camera on my TV, when motion". ;( ;( ;( It's so sad how the smart home industry is so dumb. :/
I hate to say it. But doorbells with HomeKit support from Apple, Netatmo for example. It's just works seamlessly with Apple TV, so a live view in a small windows on your Apple TV without any rocketscience settings in this video..
Eufy will work on the Firestick by adding the Eufy skill to Alexa and creating a routine so that when the doorbell is pressed, Eufy than streams to the Firestick on your TV
Although I love smart home automation I have no clue where to start with all this magic electricary. However, you Paul make this shit great. I watch your videos and laugh even if I’ve not a clue what you are talking about. Keep up the good work, I appreciate you mate 🏆👍🏼
Great tutorial video, and shame about Amazon Fire TV sticks not working for this. One minor thing you missed is that you need to set the Nest app to only notify you when someone presses the door bell. Mine is set to notify me when the door bell is pressed or when it sees a person, in which case my TV is going to be flicking to the Nest app way more times than I need it to. I guess some people will learn this the hard way tho! 🙂
So I’ve figured this home assistant part . It goes ; Create- event - ui Action - launch app- google assistant- say - show “camera nam” The part I’d love to figure out is how to get all this to run smoothly in the background.
Don't have a camera doorbell, just watching for entertainment value (and a little for Tasker curiosity). Question though: are the automated button press coordinates always the same? I guess potentially for this app they are, but what if someone wanted something similar to your tutorial, but launch a different app with different button placement? How would they find the right coordinates?
If I'm not mistaken, the coordinates are counted from top left to bottom right. If you have a lower or higher resolution it could be these coordinates are not for you. You could however check the developer options of that android device to see if there is an option that shows the coordinates. Guess these coordinates are pixel based so you could also do a raw calculation. It's quite a big area where you can click in.
@@TheoWillemse With a little luck there might be an app that can give you the coordinates. I was hoping Paul might add how he got them to his post, as people will likely look there first and it seems like a bit of an oversight for the tutorial not to mention how he obtained them. And agreed, top left to bottom right seems sensible, different resolution would most likely change it for other devices. I also remember a well hidden setting in Android for how much screen elements should be enlarged, which I once used to make everything on my phone a bit smaller. Unfortunately I don't remember the specific setting, but it needed a terminal command so it probably isn't commonly used. In any case, it seems likely that the coordinates can vary.
Trial and error is the only way I've found to do it, just punch some numbers in and then press play in tasker and see where the mouse ends up clicking, repeat the process until the mouse is clicking in the right place 😊
Paul, this video showed up on my feed and not noticing it was 3 years old, I started watching it. I don’t have any of the equipment you used, but I watched the entire video. This is one of the best and most clear instructional setup videos I have ever seen. You missed your calling as a corporate trainer. Well done. I am curious though, certainly you didn’t learn all these disparate programs to link together by trial and error and inspiration, so my question to you is where did you get the procedures from that you based this video on? If it’s been too long to remember or you are too busy to answer anyway, well done. I don’t know how well this video aged, most technical software videos don’t age well past the first software update, but since the utube algorithm is recommending this video, you might want to check and see if the steps are all still correct.
I believe it all still works! The irony is that I did train people in corporate settings for years but the pay was terrible! Thanks for the kind words dude. I did actually learn all this stuff by trying to find ways around the ridiculous mess of the home automation world for years before things started to get a bit more straight forward.
Was gutted when you said it needs Android tv as my LG and Samsung aren't, but I still watched it all, thanks for the videos, always informative and amusing
@@paulhibbert I did wonder how many people watching still get the deanna troi reference, and how you happened to have that clip to hand for the editing lol
This is a great tutorial. I have smartthings multipurpose sensors that go off when I have a knock at the door and it tells all my echos that someone is knocking at the door. With this I should be able to load up my regular cameras that work with smart home etc, sweet. Now when my robovac bumps the front door, not only will the army of echos shout at me but my TV with show me nobody outside 🤣 I do turn the notification off when she's hoovering
Nice one hibbsy, I like this, so here, have some engagement (of course, I have done this a different way _humps air and yells home assistant_ - but super cool to see content like this again ❤️🔥)
Hi good video. In July 2024 you can more simply from Android install the alexa app and attach it to the google nest app and have it shown on your Fire tv when somebody rings or even instruct it to show the camera.
Totally brilliant--that you figured it out AND made the tutorial swift and definitely not boring. Will I tackle this? Don't know. But watching it was fun.
Great video as always fella. I've no idea how you work all of this out 🤣 you must be a super intelligent being from another planet, sent to earth to show off to us mere humans 😂. I don't have a video doorbell but I do have several Reolink cameras that I can view on my Philips smart TV 👍
@@paulhibbert how you finding the image on your Philips TV? We have the philips 58pus8545 12, it seems to struggle with black images making it quite "blocky" :-/
No obvious blockiness, but I find it a bit high contrast. When watching my own videos I am always shocked at how dark my skin tone looks, but I don't notice this when watching anything else. 🤔
Thanks for figuring all of that out for me! I'd've given it a few hours, then resigned it to the "I'll figure it out later" pile. It's a big pile, mostly Home Assistant related.
So I’ve figured this home assistant part . It goes ; Create- event - ui Action - launch app- google assistant- say - show “camera nam” The part I’d love to figure out is how to get all this to run smoothly in the background.
I've just done this with my ezviz cctv camera is there an easier way to find out your field point ? Also just to note when I opened the APK tasker after installing it told me it wouldn't work unless purchased from Google play store so don't know if things have changed since thus video was made 🙂 Ps is there anyway to ask tasker to change your HDMI channel so if your not watching anything on say your shield but on something else .. it Will change to your shield and load the camera app ?
Thank you for making this it’s very cool ! I know these type of video take more work than normal but it’s very much appreciate. Honestly watch it because your brand of humor 😂
Yes. here I am nearly 2 years later looking at this tutorial. Thats because I have finally purchased a Video doorbell, The Aqara G4. Any chance you could do something like this with Home assistant, as a tutorial? Also Tasker is a paid for product and i dont think you mentioned that in this video. Obviously, they may have started to charge for it, but is there anything free we could use instead. Thanks
Great tutorial!!! I am happy to see you doing these again. Unfortunately I have a iPhone, Roku TV a yes a Bezos Bell (crappy first gen Ring). I am going to have to find a way to sideload on Roku
Great video. Silly question though. Why would you choose to use push bullet to push the Nest notification from your phone if you have the Nest app installed on the Shield...?
Yes, agree. You would think that the Nest App on the TV /Nvidia would get the same notification when the doorbell is depressed, to then show the door camera.
I have a camera doorbell with RING, however, RING still doesn't work with Amazon, and neither of my TV's have an APP for Ring. So "Any doorbell" to stream to my TV, I'm waiting for one for Ring :) Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Great stuff kept me busy for ages it would only open Ring app on my Formuler box at first. I then played for ages. Changed x,y to 800,800 then added another task Wait 4 seconds and another Autoinput task click, point, x,y 800,800 again and it worked,. Thanks Paul I'll buy you a beer next time your in Blackpool, you'll get 2 for the price of a southern 1 LOL
I know there is a way to grab the actual stream file by making a Google developers account and tapping into it that way, it would be a quicker startup but probably more complicated. Or the Google assistant has a voice command to open the camera directly that could also be implemented into tasker instead. I think that can only be done with the new Chromecast though.
@@Far_Ken from what I remember it is a standard rtmp stream but the encryption key rotates. Probably better off trying to work the google assistant command into tasker to open it so everything is happy.
Amazon Alexa is the best for home automation, it has the most skills. Also, Google can't add a device to more than 1 room or group; example: kitchen and family room are adjacent to each other and I want the lights in both room to turn off if I say all, as well as independently turning off either room. Alexa is inexpensive so I bought 8 to equip every room with Amazon Alexa for voice control so that I can just ask 'turn off the lights' and the echo in that room knows to turn off those lights and not other lights in the house. Alexa also allows a voice routine to have many alternative phrases. Google app's fonts are really really really tiny for my old eyes.
Paul, the only challenge is you tease being able to do this with any TV and Doorbell. I have an LG TV and a Eufy Doorbell…. Broken! Hahaha! Great tutorial though.
Hi Paul, I know you did this video a while back but I had a number of questions. As a newbie I'm trying to automate some things for my parents home and the idea of being able to have the video doorbell automatically display on the TV for them would be fantastic I understand the basic concepts of what you were putting together - now to my questions. Since a bit of time has passed are any of the steps/tools need to be updated to do this? The TV my parents have is a new Samsung - 55” Class S95B OLED 4K Smart Tizen TV so I assume it has the capability to install the apps you talked about in it's OS. They have a eufy video doorbell. They also don't have an android phone, but they do have an IPAD that can run the eufy app and receive doorbell notifications. Does the tasker app work on an ipad or does it need to be an android phone? I'd love any advice you can give on how to get this automated process started. I'd be happy to buy you a few beers so we can chat - let me know your thoughts. Love all your videos and I hope you have a great new year and look forward to hearing from you soon. Thnx Bob Kresz
That's a HEAP of hoops to jump through! I have a Love hate relationship with my apple ecosystem, but do love the fact Apple just does this as soon as you attach a doorbell.
Excellent tutorial, thank you. I was wondering if this is possible with android media box and if so, what would you recommend (would Google Chromecast 4K with android TV do?).
Very interesting video. It will sure help a lot of people out. I will still have to keep looking further a bit, as I only have a WebOS TV. At the moment looking into the notifications send through via my Home Assistant installation.
I too have web OS, it’s so useless! I have been reading up on how to hack it, incase that interests you. But anyway, I currently use a chromecast and I think I’ll find a way to get this outcome using that, tasker or ifttt or a combination. Don’t despair, where there’s a will there’s a way.
Easy, peasy lemon sq...... 😲 My brain is fried 😵😭 Think ill save my sanity and peep through the curtains instead 😅 A great tutorial for someone I'm sure👍
Honestly an impressive tutorial, I can only imagine how annoying it would of been to setup this for the first time, trying to find X and y coordinates ect, it actually baffles me how google tv doesn't just have an app and setting that works with it, my experience with the nest doorbell so far has been utter trash
Replace nest app with Eufy and select the Eufy app throughout the tutorial instead of nest 😊 the only other thing you might have to change is where the mouse clicks on the screen when configuring autoinput.
Great video and I've just downloaded all the bits, if you have a Ring Doorbell, do you use the Ring app on the Android TV instead of the Nest or do you still use Nest but let the Ring app on your phone trigger this sequence?
Great tutorial! Loved it! What a wonderful workaround for such a required built-in feature. I've installed & configured everything step-by-step both on my phone & Google Chromecast with Google TV devices. However, for some reason the push notification from Pushbullet doesn't trigger the task on tasker. Not manually and not by Tasker. Permissions are all set properly. Any ideas?
Here I hoped that the solution would be using google routine as task.. darn... Then I would be able to send the Nest CAM to my chromecast monitor instead.. Great tutorial even if it's not for my setup.
Holy Balls Man! I like technology but hate it at the same time! I've been considering all the options when it comes to getting home security cams, wired vs Wifi, Solar vs wired, all of the different brands and was leaning towards the Eufi's but every option just seems to have some major flaw. If you have a wired DVR type system & the crooks take your Dvr your screwed, if you have Wifi Cams you can't monitor them all at once in real time on a monitor. Or there's Wifi jammers, It's like you have to have a mixture of all of these crappy systems or jump through 10,000 hoops to have a foolproof setup, or just hire a pro to install a wired system with backup power and footage stored in the cloud, paid subscriptions, Hidden DVR, add on some Solar Cams that you can only view on your phone. It's utterly ridiculous how complicated this all is! Your Video is very entertaining, but I'd rather die than go through all of that.
This is great you're hilarious. Tasker is awesome too, but I feel like theres so much more it can do than I'm using it for .... Do you think you'd ever make a video with some other tasker stuff?
Great video, super handy! Is there any way that something similar could be done to get the video feed to play on a smart display? I have a Eufy Battery Doorbell and would love it to display the feed on my Google Home Max when the doorbell is pressed :-)
So I’ve figured this home assistant part . It goes ; Create- event - ui Action - launch app- google assistant- say - show “camera nam” The part I’d love to figure out is how to get all this to run smoothly in the background.
Is there a way to distinguish between different types of notifications within Tasker? Like, for example, getting a notification from a Nest thermostat vs the doorbell camera.
So if I have a nest door bell and a chromcast I would still have to door all this setup? Great content as usual Paul! Thanks for kick starting Saturdays.
Thanks dude! Obviously you can load it with your voice, but I don't THINK there's any way to automatically load the feed. For that you would need my setup.
Hi mate. This is brilliant, I've been looking for a way to convince Mrs it I need to leave the TV permanently on🤪. But seriously I'm assuming you need to have TV permanently on. Or can you get it to turn your TV on first and only when somebody's at home?
Great idea, I can’t leave the TV on either, I intend to use this myself… Having said that and with the caveat that I’ve have only a tiny bit of Tasker experience… You don’t need to leave the TV, the android phone is listening, add an additional step when you launch Nest - “turn the TV and set the TV’s input to the android tv….” Prosit, Craig
hi paul , i am trying to get the same process via ring door bell (rapid ring app) with NVidia shield , but i can not get the exact coordinates for the click via autoinput . is there an easy way to know the exact coordinates for my scenario ?
Happy Saturday everyone! Something a bit different today! I've not done a tutorial in a long time, and I thought I'll do something easy.

Any chance you could do something like this with Home assistant, as a tutorial? Also Tasker is a paid for product and i dont think you mentioned that in this video. Obviously, they may have started to charge for it, but is there anything free we could use instead.
Thanks
F'cken best tutorial ever. Solves one of the biggest problems in home automation!
Great tutorial!!! I am happy to see you doing these again. Unfortunately I have a iPhone, Roku TV a yes a Bezos Bell (crappy first gen Ring). I am going to have to find a way to sideload on Roku
I have the exact same setup. If you find a way let me know please.
Great video. Silly question though. Why would you choose to use push bullet to push the Nest notification from your phone if you have the Nest app installed on the Shield...?
Yes, agree. You would think that the Nest App on the TV /Nvidia would get the same notification when the doorbell is depressed, to then show the door camera.
Legend. I'll be doing this later when I install my nest.
Yeeeeeeeeeeh a tutorial!! That's all I thought when I saw the pop-up for a new video 😂🥳🥳
Thanks for the this super cool video. do you have an updated version? Thanks.
Just liked the video at the start just because of the Star Trek comment hahaha
SOOO Relate to that hahahahaha
I have a camera doorbell with RING, however, RING still doesn't work with Amazon, and neither of my TV's have an APP for Ring. So "Any doorbell" to stream to my TV, I'm waiting for one for Ring :) Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Thanks for the tutorial Paul, do you know if there are any alternatives to push bullet since it isn’t available on ios?
Man I was literally watching videos about doorbells I want to buy and you post this! Are you reading my mind?
Always. Right now you're thinking "man that's creepy, he should stop reading my mind".
@@paulhibbert oh no he's in my head
Great stuff kept me busy for ages it would only open Ring app on my Formuler box at first. I then played for ages. Changed x,y to 800,800 then added another task Wait 4 seconds and another Autoinput task click, point, x,y 800,800 again and it worked,. Thanks Paul I'll buy you a beer next time your in Blackpool, you'll get 2 for the price of a southern 1 LOL
Nice!! Thanks mate. Really glad it's worked for you! 😊
I know there is a way to grab the actual stream file by making a Google developers account and tapping into it that way, it would be a quicker startup but probably more complicated. Or the Google assistant has a voice command to open the camera directly that could also be implemented into tasker instead. I think that can only be done with the new Chromecast though.
Depending on the stream type, wonder if that could be pushed directly to VLC media player, which is readily available on Android TV.
@@Far_Ken from what I remember it is a standard rtmp stream but the encryption key rotates. Probably better off trying to work the google assistant command into tasker to open it so everything is happy.
Amazon Alexa is the best for home automation, it has the most skills.
Also, Google can't add a device to more than 1 room or group; example: kitchen and family room are adjacent to each other and I want the lights in both room to turn
off if I say all, as well as independently turning off either room.
Alexa is inexpensive so I bought 8 to equip every room with Amazon Alexa for voice control so that I can just ask 'turn off the lights' and the echo in that room
knows to turn off those lights and not other lights in the house.
Alexa also allows a voice routine to have many alternative phrases.
Google app's fonts are really really really tiny for my old eyes.
Paul, the only challenge is you tease being able to do this with any TV and Doorbell. I have an LG TV and a Eufy Doorbell…. Broken! Hahaha! Great tutorial though.
Hi Paul, I know you did this video a while back but I had a number of questions. As a newbie I'm trying to automate some things for my parents home and the idea of being able to have the video doorbell automatically display on the TV for them would be fantastic I understand the basic concepts of what you were putting together - now to my questions. Since a bit of time has passed are any of the steps/tools need to be updated to do this? The TV my parents have is a new Samsung - 55” Class S95B OLED 4K Smart Tizen TV so I assume it has the capability to install the apps you talked about in it's OS. They have a eufy video doorbell. They also don't have an android phone, but they do have an IPAD that can run the eufy app and receive doorbell notifications. Does the tasker app work on an ipad or does it need to be an android phone? I'd love any advice you can give on how to get this automated process started. I'd be happy to buy you a few beers so we can chat - let me know your thoughts.
Love all your videos and I hope you have a great new year and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thnx
Bob Kresz
Look at you! Getting all techy! You out ZZZed DrZZZZ!!!!! Loved it! So cool! Hope all is great!
That's a HEAP of hoops to jump through! I have a Love hate relationship with my apple ecosystem, but do love the fact Apple just does this as soon as you attach a doorbell.
Loved your video editing in making this video!
Excellent tutorial, thank you. I was wondering if this is possible with android media box and if so, what would you recommend (would Google Chromecast 4K with android TV do?).
Awesome.. good to see a tutorial again Paul 👍
A Paul Hibbert tutorial. Great stuff. More please.
❤️❤️❤️
You should definitely do more of these. Great work
Very interesting video. It will sure help a lot of people out. I will still have to keep looking further a bit, as I only have a WebOS TV. At the moment looking into the notifications send through via my Home Assistant installation.
I too have web OS, it’s so useless! I have been reading up on how to hack it, incase that interests you. But anyway, I currently use a chromecast and I think I’ll find a way to get this outcome using that, tasker or ifttt or a combination. Don’t despair, where there’s a will there’s a way.
Really awesome tutorial. Absolutely crazy we have to do it this way.
Easy, peasy lemon sq......
😲 My brain is fried 😵😭
Think ill save my sanity and peep through the curtains instead 😅
A great tutorial for someone I'm sure👍
Love your videos you have a fantastic sense of humor!
Honestly an impressive tutorial, I can only imagine how annoying it would of been to setup this for the first time, trying to find X and y coordinates ect, it actually baffles me how google tv doesn't just have an app and setting that works with it, my experience with the nest doorbell so far has been utter trash
Happy Saturday Paul. Thanks.
Happy Saturday Ron!
This is brilliant! Well done ! Is there a work around for someone like myself who uses an apple phone
Great video but how do you do this without using nest app? Like say Eufy doorbell?
Replace nest app with Eufy and select the Eufy app throughout the tutorial instead of nest 😊 the only other thing you might have to change is where the mouse clicks on the screen when configuring autoinput.
Thank you for doing a video that I asked for
Hello my lovely Paul, thanks for the video 😄
Great video and I've just downloaded all the bits, if you have a Ring Doorbell, do you use the Ring app on the Android TV instead of the Nest or do you still use Nest but let the Ring app on your phone trigger this sequence?
did you able to did it ?
Great tutorial! Loved it! What a wonderful workaround for such a required built-in feature.
I've installed & configured everything step-by-step both on my phone & Google Chromecast with Google TV devices.
However, for some reason the push notification from Pushbullet doesn't trigger the task on tasker. Not manually and not by Tasker.
Permissions are all set properly.
Any ideas?
Nice video Paul. Can I use Tasker, to open up my Reolink camera on my phone when there is motion? Just need a simple task like that.
Thank you Paul Hibbert! I've wanted this functionality for the longest time. Great video and tutorial.
Here I hoped that the solution would be using google routine as task.. darn... Then I would be able to send the Nest CAM to my chromecast monitor instead..
Great tutorial even if it's not for my setup.
Holy Balls Man! I like technology but hate it at the same time! I've been considering all the options when it comes to getting home security cams, wired vs Wifi, Solar vs wired, all of the different brands and was leaning towards the Eufi's but every option just seems to have some major flaw. If you have a wired DVR type system & the crooks take your Dvr your screwed, if you have Wifi Cams you can't monitor them all at once in real time on a monitor. Or there's Wifi jammers, It's like you have to have a mixture of all of these crappy systems or jump through 10,000 hoops to have a foolproof setup, or just hire a pro to install a wired system with backup power and footage stored in the cloud, paid subscriptions, Hidden DVR, add on some Solar Cams that you can only view on your phone. It's utterly ridiculous how complicated this all is! Your Video is very entertaining, but I'd rather die than go through all of that.
Imagine using the chapter selection and missing all of the hilarious bits. Plebs.
Thanks for that, can see uses for that beyond just door bells!
Is there a way to figure out mouse coordinates for fire TV? Im testing this using "notifications for fire TV app" instead of push bullet
This is great you're hilarious. Tasker is awesome too, but I feel like theres so much more it can do than I'm using it for .... Do you think you'd ever make a video with some other tasker stuff?
I think my channel has a tasker play list. They're quite old videos, but there are some really cool things I did with it 😊
Great!! really interesting.. better then the "semi advertorials" Editing this video must have been a nightmare! but great value
Thanks mate. Editing wasn't as hard as figuring out how to bypass all the obstacles to actually making it work 😂
Great video, super handy!
Is there any way that something similar could be done to get the video feed to play on a smart display? I have a Eufy Battery Doorbell and would love it to display the feed on my Google Home Max when the doorbell is pressed :-)
So I’ve figured this home assistant part .
It goes ;
Create- event - ui
Action - launch app- google assistant- say - show “camera nam”
The part I’d love to figure out is how to get all this to run smoothly in the background.
Is there a way to distinguish between different types of notifications within Tasker? Like, for example, getting a notification from a Nest thermostat vs the doorbell camera.
Another great video mate, I'm guessing the first couple of test messages you sent were to Phi*ips? 🤣
Hello,nice tips , do you have a solution for iphone(ios) because pushbullet is no more avalaible on ios ?
So if I have a nest door bell and a chromcast I would still have to door all this setup?
Great content as usual Paul! Thanks for kick starting Saturdays.
Thanks dude! Obviously you can load it with your voice, but I don't THINK there's any way to automatically load the feed. For that you would need my setup.
I have nest doorbell and I'm trying this tutorial with my phone and tablet. But I'm not there yet 😕
Hi mate. This is brilliant, I've been looking for a way to convince Mrs it I need to leave the TV permanently on🤪. But seriously I'm assuming you need to have TV permanently on. Or can you get it to turn your TV on first and only when somebody's at home?
Great idea, I can’t leave the TV on either, I intend to use this myself…
Having said that and with the caveat that I’ve have only a tiny bit of Tasker experience…
You don’t need to leave the TV, the android phone is listening, add an additional step when you launch Nest - “turn the TV and set the TV’s input to the android tv….”
Prosit,
Craig
is there a good wireless video doorbell that works on pc with no pay walls ?
All this tech is brilliant, but I just can’t be arsed any more 😂
Saved for later doing things in house lolol Thank you love it
Paul, excellent video thank you for making it.
hi paul , i am trying to get the same process via ring door bell (rapid ring app) with NVidia shield , but i can not get the exact coordinates for the click via autoinput . is there an easy way to know the exact coordinates for my scenario ?
I would like to do this with my Ring door bell app did you figure out yours?
Hi Paul, is still working for you?
Dude I needed this video!!!
