I'm looking for information on how to choose which google speakers tell me someone is at the door. I don't want every device in the house yelling at me whenever someone rings the doorbell.

Hey @RKLimes,

 

When you open the home app, can you select your doorbell by holding down the tab created for the doorbell within the Home app dashboard > Top Right tap the cog wheel/Settings > Do you see any options to Mute or turn off the Device for announcements? Can you repeat these steps for the Doorbell and Google device listed in the device card/Home screen.

Yes, there is an option there for voice notifications, but it's a single toggle which applies to all speakers and displays.  I would like to select which devices give me the notifications, since having it on all of them is absurd.

You should have the option per device.

I agree that I should, but these are all of the available options looking at the doorbell.

Each of the devices (speakers and screens,) have their own option to disable notifications generally, but I don't want to disable all notifications - just the doorbell rings.

I'm guessing this isn't possible.

Let me double check on this for you.

Hi, 

 

We had a PLM look in to this and it looks like if you create a new home then add the desired speaker and the Doorbell to that same home/room this should allow you to choose which device to receive notifications. 

 

It appears to be a limitation with the Google integration, but this should allow it to work. Hopefully that helps
