How to install Nest Hello
with the Indoor Power Adapter
Things to know before you begin
Nest Hello is designed to replace a wired doorbell
and use your current doorbell chime. But you can
use the Indoor Power Adapter to install Hello if you
don’t currently have a doorbell, if you have a
wireless battery-powered doorbell, or your
doorbell system won’t work with Hello for other
reasons.
The steps are different to install Hello with the
Indoor Power Adapter, so follow this guide closely.
You’ll need to skip some steps in the app and
follow them here instead.
● Purchase Nest Hello and the Indoor Power Adapter from the Google Store.
● If you would like a separate doorbell chime in addition to using the Nest app on your
phone, you can purchase a Google Home Hub or other Google Assistant-enabled
device from the Google Store or a local retailer.
● You’ll need to drill a hole completely through your home’s exterior wall to run the
power cable to a power outlet inside your home. Contact a local Nest Pro if you don’t
feel comfortable drilling all the way through the wall.
● WARNING: Do not plug the adapter into an outdoor power outlet. It isn’t
weatherproof.
