Eufy Home Alarm Siren alert on Google Nest Hub 2

Hi,

I just installed my Home Alarm system and found the home base alarm to be ridiculously quiet for an alarm! So I’m looking for ways to either amplify the alarm or make it sound on other devices such as my Google Nest Hub 2. I’ve been able to connect the Eufy Alarm to my google assistant but I can’t seem to figure out to have a notification + alarm sound through my assistant / Nest Hub 2.

I also second that an external alarm should be a no brainer add-on for this system.

Does anyone have any experience with this issue / tips and tricks?

Thanks in advance,

Wouter

Dear Wouter,

Please stop trying… Google nest Hub 1 or two only work with their own products. Like Google doorbell and Google nest etc etc. Eufy and all other products that says “works with Google and Alexa” is just a Marketing scam. It works with Allright, but almost never in exactly how you and I want it to work with Google and Alexa. I expected when I bought the nest hub 2, that when someone presses the doorbell it automatically would show me who was pressing the damn thing… But no, I have to ask Google first who’s ringing and then shows me a live feed. That’s not very smart but it works. The only way to solve this problem is to buy more stuff to get it to work properly and it isn’t from eufy but from Homey. So now it works because I had the opportunity to program it, just like I want it to work. So now someone presses the doorbell, eufy doorbell starts a hls stream, telling Google to a cast website (input eufy’s hls stream ), start stream to nest hub! Oh and also not forgetting to stop the stream after 25 seconds or so. As you can see, it takes more for eufy products to tango with other so called smart devices. Also a made up marketing term because the devices themselves are very dumdum and have to do some programming ( which you allready did as far as you could with the Google home app) but now are running out of possibilities to take it a step further, because of lacking support from eufy and Google. Don’t get me wrong, eufy’s doorbell cam is one of the best out there. It only lacks a display like nest hub or Alexa display. Now you have to pick up your phone to see who’s at your door.
