Nest Hello doorbell camera

[S0urceror]

Hi, great plugin!

After an hour of fiddling I got 2 new Nest Cams and my old trusty Nest Thermostat working. No errors anymore during startup of Homebridge.

My Nest Hello is showing but video not. The error is: FFmpeg exited with code: 1 and signal: null (Error) Front Door Doorbell

Do you have a clue? Let me know.

Regards,

Mario

Hi @S0urceror, please turn on debug mode and post some more logs from around when the error happens.

[S0urceror]

Sorry Ted, you are right.

I have done a debug session and put the result here: logfile.txt

I marked two sections in the logfile with: ** START COMMUNICATION

The first camera works, this is a new Google Nest Camera, last generation. The second camera does not work, this is a Nest Hello doorbell camera, first generation

Is the microphone disabled on your doorbell?

@S0urceror?

Closing due to lack of activity.

Sorry Ted, I was off for holidays.

To answer your past question. No, I have not disabled the microphone. I can communicate with the people ringing the doorbell.

Could it be that because this is a 1st gen (Nest vs Google) device? I can connect to it with both the Nest app and the Google Home app.

Sorry @S0urceror I meant "Audio recording" like in this screenshot:

My Nest Hello does not show the Audio options like my other Google Camera's.

Nest Hello, does not show the Audio entry:

Other Google Camera, has the Audio entry:

That looks like the Google Home app. What about the Nest app?

[S0urceror]

I do not use the Nest app so often anymore.

I just went through all the settings and found the Microphone setting in the Nest app. Now it also works in your homebridge plugin.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Problem solved.
