So, basically as the title asks.

This doorbell has been installed in the house since about 30 years ago so don't want to uninstall it.

It works with a 'normal' doorbell switch.

I would like to add a Nest Doorbell Wired. But don't know if this kind of installation it's compatible with the device.

In my mind the way it should work is: Someone pushes the doorbell, the chime squeaks as always does. But at the same time there's a notification to my phone if I am out. Does this works that way?

Or What should I check so i can see if it's compatible? Or what should I do?

Thanks & Regards

I've run into an issue with my Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen): I was previously able to say to my connected smartphone "Hey Google, set thermostat to cool/heat/off" and it would switch to that mode, hands-free. Today, it stopped doing that, and whenever I try to issue the same command, it replies with "I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that" "Sorry, that mode isn't available."

You can see here that it didn't misunderstand my command (it clearly heard "set thermostat to cool") but refuses to set the thermostat to that mode.

I can still adjust it manually from the phone app, that's working just fine... it's just the voice commands not being accepted. Has anyone run into this?

So I am currently getting my home set up with a smart ecosystem. I decided on all the cameras, doorbell, etc and all of that, that work well with Google Home.

My last questions is, for a smart HUB/display to be the “homebase” in my home, what do I do?
Looks like the Google Hub/Nest HUB is discontinued, but is there anything replacing it?
Should I snatch one up if I find it at a good price? Or is there an alternative?

My Google home used to be able to control my Roku flawlessly. Ever since Gemini, it says ridiculous things like it can't perform actions. How do I fix this??

I’m trying to set up a Google Home speaker for a family member who is blind. They want to use their voice to open and play a personal YouTube playlist (specifically regular YouTube, not YouTube Music) just to listen to the audio. Is this possible, and how do I set it up? Both Google Home and YouTube are on the same account. I tried asking, 'Hey Google, play my playlist on YouTube,' but it didn't work

I have a routine set up within the clock app so when I dismiss my alarm in the morning, the bedroom lights turn on.

I already have it set up so step one of the routine is to set media volume to zero, and step two is to turn the lights on. There are no other steps. Ever since the recent Android update, my phone has been saying "good morning, [name]" out loud as part of the routine. Does anyone know how I can make it stop doing this? I have a Pixel 9.

My Google Home speaker worked flawlessly with YouTube Music until about a week ago. Now, whenever I ask it to play music, it responds with "OK, playing..." but eventually says, "Sorry, something went wrong, try again."

Here is what I’ve tested so far:

Casting: Casting from the YouTube Music app on my phone shows it's connected, but no audio plays.

App behavior: When I kept the app open and asked the speaker to play something, I watched the app rapidly cycle through multiple songs on my screen before giving the "something went wrong" error.

Other services: When I linked a free Spotify account, the speaker played music without any issues.

General functions: The speaker handles everything else normally—it answers questions, sets reminders, plays white noise, and executes other voice commands.

Troubleshooting steps already taken:

Performed a factory reset on the speaker.

Unlinked and relinked YouTube Music.

Rebooted the device.

I have an active Premium account, and the correct account is linked to the speaker. Since Spotify works fine, the issue seems to be specifically related to YouTube Music. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Hello!

I'm having crashes of internet maybe once a day... just losing internet and having to reboot the wifi puck to get it back.

I'm trying to debug if that comes from my ISP or its just that my puck is starting to be old and the crashes come from it (and i need to replace it)

Is there a way to check logs of the Google Wifi puck? see if its it that has an error?
