Sonos one - Nest Hello integration questions

Does Sonos one integrate with Nest Hello? As in, does the Sonos One speaker sound a chime when someone presses the smart doorbell at home? Searched around, could not find anything conclusive. This should absolutely be a supported api/feature of the integration and I am looking to get more clarity ASAP on planning some smart home purchases.

Any advise is appreciated!

    Hi again,

    FYI, I solved my problem with help from Google helpdesk.

    We concluded together that every setting was indeed correctly setup, like the ‘Visitor announcement’ turned on, ‘Notification/Partner services’ turned on in the Assistant settings, in “Your data in the Assistant” - ‘Web & App Activity’ turned on incl. the check-boxes, etc. 

    These settings were all turned off and then on again in order to re-apply the settings, but no luck yet (even though it was perhaps good to re-apply it)

    The thing that finally resolved my issue was to perform a factory reset of my Sonos One speaker (i.e. long-press ‘infinity’ button while re-inserting the power cable) and re-activate the Google Assistant link to Google Assistant. I double-checked the link to Google by asking “OK Google, what’s my name” and the reply was indeed my name, Martin.

    After that check, I pressed the door bell button and the Sonos One said “It is someone on the front door”. :-)

    Hope this helps others having similar problem.

    BR Martin

    I'm not aware that there's any official integration with Nest, supported by Sonos.

    Me neither. As Nest is part of Google maybe something will come after Google Home Integration is released.

    Once Google assistant is available for Sonos I'm sure Nest Hello will work Just fine. Nest Hello's rings all my Google Home products (1 Google Home, 2 Google Minis and 1 Google Home Hub) I will probably not enable it on my Sonos speakers as I already have enough "ringers".

    Yes it does.

    I have my nest hello announced on my Play:One “X is at the Front Door”.
    It’s pretty cool!

    Now I have only managed to set it up for the Sonos One and Beam. Not for my other speakers (playbar, play 5, etc...)

    Does anyone know how to make the same thing work on the Playbar/Play:5?

    I wouldn't think it would work on speakers that do not have Google assistant built in to it. I could be wrong though.

    I just checked, something. Since my One's serve as surrounds, GA is disabled and only my beam gives Nest Hello alerts.

    Hi, this is so cool!

    How did you manage it?

    Hi, Nest said this should work, can some one from Sonos confirm this? I can't get my Beam to play a sound when the doorbell is pressed. I have Google Home as my assistant running on my Beam.

    How did the others get this working?

    It most definitely works. My Beam announces when the door bell is rang.
    Make sure it is enabled by:
    1. Open sonos app
    2. Settings
    3. Services
    4. Google Assistant under Voice
    5. Choose Beam (or Whatever the name of your Beam is)
    6. Next Choose Google Assistant Settings, (this opens up in the Google Home App)
    7. There are several things here. Make sure Notifications are turned on. The same has to be done for Google Home Speakers as well to hear the doorbell.
    Hope this helps and works out for you.
