How to enable motion announcements on Google Nest

 

Enable Motion Announcements on Google Nest

 

  • Google Nest devices can announce if motion is detected by your smart cameras or doorbells. This feature is part of the integration between your Nest devices and Google Home setup.
  •  

  • To use this feature, ensure that your Google Nest device, such as Google Nest Hub, Nest Mini, or another Google Assistant-enabled speaker, is connected to your account.

 

Setting Up Motion Announcements

 

  • Open the Google Home app on your smartphone or tablet.
  •  

  • Make sure you are signed in with the same Google account connected to your Nest devices.
  •  

  • On the home screen of the app, tap on the Profile icon in the top right corner, then go to Assistant settings.
  •  

  • In the settings menu, scroll down and tap on Devices. This will show a list of all your connected devices that can send announcements.
  •  

  • Find your Google Assistant-enabled device you wish to make motion announcements, and tap on it to access its settings.
  •  

 

Configuring Device Notifications

 

  • Within the device settings, look for a section called Notifications or Announcements.
  •  

  • There, verify if there is an option for Motion Announcements or similar. Enable this option by toggling the switch, turning it on.
  •  

  • If necessary, specify which Nest device (like a camera or doorbell) you want to send motion notifications from.
  •  

  • Save your changes and exit the settings menu.

 

Troubleshooting Tips

 

  • Ensure your Nest devices and your Google Home device are updated to the latest software version.
  •  

  • If motion announcements are not working, try restarting your Google Home and Nest devices.
  •  

  • Check that the microphone on your Google Assistant device isn't muted, as this will prevent it from making announcements.
  •  

  • Verify that your Nest device (camera/doorbell) has motion detection enabled in its settings.
  •  

 

Conclusion

 

  • By following these steps, you should be able to enable motion announcements on your Google Nest device. This feature can enhance your home's security and provide timely notifications for activities around your premises.
