If you’re interested in getting Nest Hello and Echo Show to work together in your Smart Home, you’ve come to the right place! Stick around and just keep reading.
To connect the two systems:
- Connect your Nest Hello to your home Wi-Fi network. The same network your Alexa is using.Open the Alexa app and find the menu on the main page.Look for the ‘Skills and Games’ option and try to find the Nest Camera choice.Choose it with a tap to enable it.Follow the app’s prompts to log in with your Nest username and password.
These short steps will allow you to view the live stream from the camera and will enable the vast majority of options available to the Nest.
Does Echo Show 5 Work with Nest Hello?
The best option for the most superior quality picture is the Nest Show 15, which gives a full HD view (1080p). Another note regarding the Nest Show 15 is that it can be easily mounted on a wall which could be a nice touch. It can also be mounted in portrait mode, which is impossible on Show 5.
All versions of the Echo Show work quite well with the Nest Hello. The user can integrate Alexa commands with the Nest to allow for a full view of whatever the camera sees. The user can also hear what is going on near the camera even if they cannot have conversations.
One big exception from saying the two devices have full integration is that the user will not be able to use Alexa as a door chime. There would be too many notifications going through the Echo for the system to keep up with not only the Nest but any other application connected. For the record, this is not just for Nest notifications but any sound coming into the Alexa system.
For complete and total integration, including two-way chat and the use of a smart assistant as a door chime, you must buy a Google Nest speaker or display. This would be the only option with more integration than an Echo Show.
