Set up Nest hello with HomeKit beforehand
If you’re planning on installing a Nest Hello with HomeKit support, you’ll want to set it up beforehand. Here’s how to set up a Nest Hello with HomeKit support: When you first get your Nest hello, you’ll need to pair it with the Home app on your iOS device. To do this, press the device’s Home button and tap “Add a device.” Select “Other devices” and then “Nest hello” to start the pairing process.
Use a “Trusted Device” option in your Home app
To whitelist a Nest security hello, navigate to the “Devices” tab in your Home app and select the hello you want to whitelist. Navigate to the “Settings” tab at the bottom of the screen, and then select the “Trusted Devices” option in the “Devices” section. Simply enable the “Allow HomeKit access” option to allow your Nest hello to work with HomeKit.
Install the Google Nest app
If you want to use your Nest hello with HomeKit, you’ll need to install the Google Nest app. This is because Nest hello is based on the Google Home platform. If you don’t have the app installed, you won’t be able to use your Nest security hello with HomeKit. You can download it through the app stores using the same login information you use for Google services. Once you have the app installed, you’ll need to set up a Google account. This is so that the Nest app can sync data from your Nest Hello.
Enable motion detection via Nest Aware service
Next, you’ll want to enable motion detection on your Nest security hello with HomeKit support. If a motion is detected, the hello will send an alert to your Home app. Click on settings, then tap on Google integration section and select “Nest Aware.” Next, select the “HomeKit” option under “Devices” and enable “Motion detection.” You’ll need to enable this for each Nest hello you want to enable with HomeKit.
Set up Vimeo and Insteon buttons on your iPad or iPhone
If you want to open the door for HomeKit integration with the Nest Cam, you’ll want to set up Vimeo and Insteon buttons on your iPad or iPhone. When triggered, these devices will send an alert to the Nest app. To do this, open the Google Nest app on your iOS device and tap the hamburger menu in the top left corner of the screen. Select “Add a device” from the menu. From the “Devices” menu, select the “Escape” option. Select the Insteon button (or any other device you’d like to configure) and then choose “Configure” from the menu bar. From the “Configure Device” menu, select “Vimeo” and then choose “Open Door” to set them up. ..
