To use your Echo Show 5 with the Nest Hello Doorbell all you need to do is say “Alexa, show me front door.” and the Echo Show 5 will show you the live streaming video of the Nest Hello. It’s important to note that if you choose another name for your Nest Hello Doorbell you will need to use the name you gave the Nest Hello in the Nest App to stream the doorbell on Echo Show 5.

The Alexa command is “Alexa, show me [NAME OF DOORBELL IN NEST]” and then you will be able to live stream the video. We’ve also included a video tutorial on how to Link Nest To Alexa but remember that you want to choose the “Nest Video Skill” if you are trying to link your Nest Hello Camera to Alexa.
