Well, that was simple enough.
« on: 26 February 2019, 08:09:38 »
As I have just received a nice tax rebate, decided to invest in a Nest Hello video doorbell.

Took about 30 minutes to install, I can see and talk to callers without answering the door.

It activates the existing chime and also Google Home mini announces someone is at the door.

Bought it at Toolstation at a discounted price.

Pretty chuffed with it.

It's got an added bonus, if a stupid delivery driver decides to ignore the bell and knock on the door with his/her knuckles, it alerts me to a sound and movement at the door :y

Another plus AA just had a look at your IP address and it only took me four minutes to hack into it. You need a stronger password.  Only kidding........

Haven't Google (who bought Nest) just had a major legal kicking for, errr, "snooping" on Nest customers.  It would appear that they kept microphones open to listen and analyse words, which is useful in targeted ads. Which is probably why they bought the line of products in the first place.


"Don't be evil" roughly translates into "because that's our job" :P

That was after they actually added 'microphone' to the list of components in the nest device. They didn't think it important enough.

The amazing thing is it worked first time wired up to a 30 year old Friedland door chime and transformer.
