Looks like this one again: #33 Doorbells are fully supported and should show up as doorbells, not cameras. Can you turn on debug mode and show me the logs right when Homebridge starts up? |
|
|
What happens if you clear cached accessories and restart? |
|
Also another shot in the dark... you didn't happen to disable doorbell ring notifications in the Nest app or Google Home app did you? |
|
There is a line |
|
Just pushed version 1.1.5, grab it and try again. I've logged the response from Google when listing devices, let's see what it says. |

Everything looks fine here. Show me the logs from when you ring the doorbell. |

Maybe we're coming at this from different angles. Did you get a notification when the doorbell was rung? If so, what is it that you are expecting to see? |
only on the apple tv, not on the iphone tho. As I mentioned, if we could expose the doorbell button out in the last screenshot, the same as motion sensor, I would be able to create a customized automation by the button pressed event triggered. |
|
Hmm, I'm not sure how to do that, I'll have to look into it. I do get notifications on my iPhone and Mac though. |
|
I'm also interested in automation based on doorbell press. I think the doorbell button itself has to be to presented to Homekit as a distinct camera accessory for this to work. |
|
Is there a specific model of nest doorbell that one would need to get? |
|
I'm also interested in the ability to setup a doorbell button press based automations. Wondering if this ever got fixed/was made possible? |
|
I am also looking to have the doorbell button to use it for some automations |
|
A slightly different use case – we have the Google Nest Battery Doorbell connected to a wired chime. We were hoping that through Homebridge we would be able to automate the chime on/off state so that it's simple to mute the chime when our baby is sleeping. I'm not sure if the SDM API allows this but it would be killer! Thanks for any pointers. |

Hello!
I'm happy to help with this, but I don't know where to start.

Hello @potmat |

Hi @ventrebleu, there is no "onboarding" process. Simply fork the repo and create a pull request. If the pull request is merged you automatically become a contributor. |

Sorry, I meant that I have some experience in web development but don't know where to start here. See my first post. |
|
@ventrebleu follow up on this, if you wanna help, one reference I can provide is, I switched to Scrypted with Google Nest, and the functionality there is exactly what I need, it rings the chime upon the button press as well as the extra configurable button exposed in HK. |

Hi, I gotta onboarded my google nest doorbell wireless with nest sdm plugin. And it works nicely with the current settings. However, the google doorbell shows as a camera plugin currently. And inside the camera, I only see the Motion Sensor plugin. Thus, I am wondering if we could add a doorbell button accessory also so that I could create some customized automation upon the doorbell button pressed.
