|---|---|---|
| Matter | Unconfirmed | Google's spec page does not mention Matter for this doorbell. A German news site reports a Nest Doorbell listed by the CSA for Matter 1.5.1 without firmware yet, but it names no model and no CSA listing naming this one was found. Absence is not a no. |
| Apple Home | Unconfirmed | Google's spec page does not mention Apple Home. |
| Google Home | Yes | Needs the Google Home app and a Google Account; the older Nest app and home.nest.com are not supported. Google says certain features, including Gemini for Home, need a Google Home Premium plan.[1] |
| Amazon Alexa | Yes | Through the Google Nest skill in the Alexa app. Google names this model for doorbell-press and motion/person announcements once Visitor announcements is on in Google Home, and live view works on Alexa devices with a display when you ask for it.[1],[3] |
| SmartThings | Unconfirmed | No Google or Samsung page found for this model. |
| Home Assistant | Unconfirmed | Google's Device Access list, which Home Assistant's Google Nest integration uses, names 'Nest Doorbell (wired)' with no generation and not the 3rd gen, so it is not confirmed. |
