r/NestNest Hello vs Nest 2k 3rd Gen
4 months ago

I know I'm in the minority, but I opted to use the rtsp feed from the 1st gen nest hello and run it through my own ML pipeline for descriptive notifications. it's also a millisecond level response instead of 5-30 seconds + (if ever) going through googles pipeline, and actually recognizes residents contextually to suppress noise, and doesn't have a subscription fee for what is now a commodity feature They haven't released anything on the hardware side worth an upgrade for me, and their software I want to be moving further away from, not closer

I've got a gen 1 nest hello, wired for power, using nest audio / minis as the chimes.... The annoying thing is how long it takes to chime when the bell is pressed... Is this any better?

Honestly, given the state of Google products, I’d have to say my gen 1 nest hello doorbell has given me the least amount of issues. Not entirely sure how the new gen of doorbells are. I’ve had my gen 1 for almost 6 years now.

1st gen wired hello supports hksv once migrated to Google home. Using one on my back door and it’s been solid.

Interesting, I wonder why it isn’t giving you the option… I was pretty happy when starling released an update to support hksv on the 1st gen since it was just sitting in the garage! Made it my Backdoor doorbell and it’s been great with its peeling and all haha!!

Where are they selling it? I can’t find it in the Nest store. My current one that I bought and installed in 2018. Finally broke. Not sure what happened. Of course this happens when I am in the shower!! The house doorbell went absolutely berserk and was constantly ringing. Nobody outside, no one pressed the button. The doorbell it self seemed hotter than normal. I can’t find one of the 2k ones. My first gen was a 3 megapixel camera. The 2nd gen ones are only 1.3 megapixel. Talk about going backwards

Moi perso j’ai la Google Nest Hello de 1ere génération et j’en suis vraiment pas content. Ca fait 6 ans que je la garde car je n’ai pas trouvé d’autre sonnette tournant 24H/24 et 7J/7. L’intégration Google Home est foireuse, la sonnette sonne bien mais je n’ai jamais réussi à avoir une image sur le Google Hub Max. Pourtant ma connexion est bonne … bref le vrai sujet est de trouver une sonnette qui tourne tout le temps et qui dispose d’un écran externe qui est réactif et propose une image dans un délai acceptable.

UK resident here, with the original (v1) Nest Hello, and I am using a mains plug-in AC/AC converter that drops the voltage from 240V to 18V / 500mA. Would you know if this would be adequate for the Gen3 doorbell? Hoping to do a straight swap out for the Gen3.

I own the Gen 1, now still. If I intend to upgrade, I can simply replace it with the same cabling? I have a Chime (bell) connected together with Gen 1. Thanks if you can comment.

Why I feel it looks better from Gen1? I actually have Gen1 now, but experiencing with the battery issue causing reset every time when ring is triggered... very annoying. Considering upgrading to new model...

Same here with my two units. The only real issue I'm faced with is the peeling of the coating (just ever so slightly - not too bad).

I had the Gen 1 wired doorbell and now I just purchased the 3rd gen wired doorbell and overall I do appreciate the 3rd gen better because it gives me a wider field of view. I like quality better and obviously that it works with Gemini. I feel like my notifications are much better and more detailed

I too have the first gen Nest Hello doorbell and yesterday I figured what the heck. Let me buy the new gen 3 Nest doorbell because I've had my other doorbell for 6 years and I'm interested in the new features plus Gemini. The first picture from The Nest hello doorbell looks less detailed and duller and I feel like the other one shows more detail and is more brighter

I'd say do it. I'm really enjoying it and it's definitely a big upgrade coming from the 1st gen doorbell
