OG Nest Doorbell (Wired) Gen? purchased ca. 2019- needs replacement
I bought this device back in 2019/maybe 2020. If has worked faithfully in the Nest app since then along with my Nest OG thermostat, also purchased about the same time. US location.
The Camera in the last few days has had a solid green light and no video at all. I’ve tried factory resetting it but to no avail. The moment it’s plugged back in the light goes solid green. Even the light around the doorbell area is gone. Pushing the doorbell does zilch, no ring at all. I’m thinking it’s dead and gone at this point.
I have 2 options at this point: either try to install another Nest camera (wired) and force myself to use the Google Home app once and for all (bye bye beloved Nest app- sniff) or try to locate an OG Nest wired camera and see if that will work with the Nest app. Alternatively will an old Nest Hello camera do the trick? I’d rather not use the Google Home app for obvious reasons.
I think I have no choice and must go to the GH app but if there are alternatives I’d love to know. If I’ve missed pertinent info above let me know.
Camera is Nest Doorbell (Wired) running software ver 4110055
