Connecting Google Nest Hub with Ring Doorbell
To link your Google Nest Hub with your Ring Doorbell so that you can view the doorbell's feed on the Hub, you'll need to ensure both devices are set up properly and use compatible apps like Google Home and the Ring app. Here's a simple guide to achieve this:
Prerequisites
- Ensure your Google Nest Hub is powered on and connected to a stable Wi-Fi network.
- Your Ring Doorbell should already be installed, set up, and connected to the Wi-Fi network.
- Both devices should be linked to accounts on their respective platforms: Google Account for the Nest Hub and Ring Account for the doorbell.
- Ensure your mobile device has the Google Home app and the Ring app installed.
Linking Ring Doorbell with Google Nest Hub
- Open the Google Home app on your mobile device and ensure you're signed in with your Google Account that is linked with your Google Nest Hub.
- Inside the Google Home app, tap the "+" icon to add a new device.
- Select "Works with Google" to open the list of third-party integrations.
- In the search bar, type "Ring", then select it from the list of compatible devices.
- You'll be prompted to log into your Ring account. Use your Ring account credentials to sign in.
- After signing in, grant the necessary permissions to connect your Ring doorbell with the Google Home app.
- Once the linking process is completed, you should be able to view your Ring doorbell feed on your Google Nest Hub.
Testing the Connection
- Say "Hey Google, show me the front door" to your Nest Hub to check if the Ring Doorbell's live feed appears.
- If the feed doesn't show up, ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network and try rebooting the devices and router.
Troubleshooting Tips
- If the connection between devices fails, recheck that you have the latest versions of the Google Home and Ring apps.
- Verify that your Google account has been properly linked to the Google Nest Hub and Ring services.
- If permissions were not granted during setup, go back into the app settings and enable any necessary permissions manually.
This method will help to ensure your Ring Doorbell and Google Nest Hub work seamlessly.
