Before you buy

What do you need to make it work?

No hub for the device alone

Choose a platform above for its connection. A hub can be optional for the device itself and required for a platform or automation.

One device can provide more than one role. These are setup requirements, not a shopping list of separate purchases.

What could you do with this?

Put its functions to use.

Research, not hands-on testing

Start with a documented control or event. The selected connection shows what is confirmed for that platform.

Setup and sources

Apple Home

Google's official spec sheet requires the Google Home app and lists no HomeKit or Matter support for any Nest camera or doorbell; Apple Home access exists only through third-party bridges (Starling Home Hub, Homebridge), which are not official support.[3][23]

Google Home

Gemini video search, deep Home integration[2][7][29][34][35][36][40]

Alexa

Works through Google's own Nest skill for Alexa. Google says an Alexa device with a display can show the doorbell's live view, and it names this doorbell, the wired 3rd-gen Nest Doorbell, for talking to a visitor by voice ('Alexa, talk to the front door') and for doorbell-press announcements, as well as motion and person announcements. Google also says some Nest features can't be controlled from Alexa, and live view from a wired doorbell stops after 12 hours unless you ask again.[2][20][39]

SmartThings

SmartThings' official Google Nest connection runs on the same Google Device Access programme, whose supported-device list includes the older battery, legacy and wired 2nd-generation doorbells but NOT this 2K 3rd-generation model. Older Nest doorbells do connect, so this no is about this model specifically.[4][24]

Home Assistant

No supported Home Assistant path exists for this model today. Home Assistant's Nest integration is official, but it runs on Google's Device Access programme — and Google's own list of the devices that programme supports covers only the battery, older and wired 1st- and 2nd-generation doorbells, not this 2K 3rd-generation model.[5][25]

Plans and ongoing costs[2][7][8]

◐ Works without a subscription: Yes, but some features need a plan.

Vendor account required: Yes — you must create a vendor account to use it.[13][15][27]

Optional but pushed: Google Home Premium (formerly Nest Aware) for video history and Gemini alerts. Both tiers and their prices are held as structured data behind this page and shown above as a five-year range. ⚠ The tier names and prices published here are Google's CURRENT ones, read from the plan's own page on 2026-08-13. Google renamed the service on 2025-10-01 — 'As of October 1, 2025, Nest Aware (2nd gen) is called Google Home Premium' — and its own comparison table sets the two old names ('Nest Aware', 'Nest Aware Plus') beside the two new ones ('Standard', 'Advanced') WITHOUT saying in words which old plan became which. So we deliberately do not assert that mapping, and the legacy name still shown in one paid-feature line is left as written rather than silently rewritten to a correspondence Google has not published.

Maintenance and offline use[7]

Security updates[10][28]

Google Nest declares security updates for this model until October 1, 2030 (US-declared — the maker states this commitment for its US market). After that date the product keeps working; the manufacturer simply has no stated obligation to keep issuing security fixes.

Google lists “Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd gen)” on its connected-home security-updates page with a release date of 10/1/2025 and a five-year minimum of 10/1/2030, and marks it “Yes” under “Currently receiving critical security updates”. ⚠ Identity is worth stating because our name for this product and Google's differ: we call it “Google Nest Doorbell (2K, 2025)” while Google's table calls it “Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd gen)”. They are the same product — our own sources cite Google's store page for the wired 3rd gen, and the table's linked validation report is titled “Nest Doorbell Indoor (wired, 3rd gen)”. We did NOT take the date from either of the two older doorbell rows on the same table (“Nest Doorbell (wired)”, 10/4/2027, and “Nest Doorbell (battery)”, 8/24/2026). Read that 2030 date as a floor rather than an expiry: the column is headed “Release date + 5 year minimum”, and the commitment behind it reads “Google Nest connected home devices will receive automatic security updates for at least 5 years from the date we start selling them on the US Google Store. Security updates will address critical issues known to Google Nest that are able to be resolved with a remote software update.” ⊕ Google's separate UK compliance statement agrees, which is worth saying because the last two makers we looked at had no second document to check against. That statement (Google LLC, signed Louise Bohmann / Director & PA Compliance Lead, Mountain View, April 8, 2024, declaring as of April 29, 2024) gives a UK support period for its home devices of “At least five years from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US” — the same promise, written as a period rather than a date. The published table is that promise with the arithmetic already done, so the two documents are not competing sources: one states the rule and the other applies it. The UK statement is also UK-scoped by its own terms and predates this hardware. ⊕ REGION: US — Google anchors the promise to its US storefront in the very sentence this rests on, so the scope comes from Google's own words and not from the fact that we list the US model.

The catch

The AI features — smart alerts, event history, Gemini-powered video descriptions — are increasingly gated behind Nest Aware / Google Home Premium.

Who it's for

Google homes wanting the smartest alerts and 2K HDR video.
