[HOW TO] make a Nest hello doorbell z-wave trigger

Iam trying here to explane how you can make a trigger when someone is pressing your Nest Hello with the use of Z-wave.

What do you need.

Importent thing is make sure your nest is working on 12V not 24V (12vac relais are cheaper and much better availble)

First step. Breakout the (reed contact) of the Neo Coolcam Sensor.


Then solder 2 wires on the the ends.

And make a litte hole in the cover off the sensor so that it can be plased back on top off the Battery.

This one looks terrible i know just a old cover i maked as example.

Now you need the chime wich is deliverd with you nest Hello and you must have installed.

The 2 wires in the red circle must being connected to the 12vac of your relais.Knipseldf

Then you conect the 2 wires from the doorsensor to the NC (normally clossed) contacts of the relais.

If you wanna make it a bit nicer you put all the stuff in a nice box .

And here you go, a perfect working zwave trigger to use in Homey.

SIDE NOTE.

  • using also a chime you wil need a relais with double contacts, as you can not use the same for both.
  • In europe you can use the nest hello with 12VAC instead of 24VAC

Very nice idea! Make something great even greater :grin:

Sorry for bumping an old post. But I am going to implement this hack :grin::+1:.

But could you help me with the relais part?

The 12v is connected to pin 1 and 5?
And the coolcam sensor on pin 2 and 4?!

Thanks in advance :+1:

It works :+1:

Except for 1 thing.
Connected it to pin 2 and 4. But it seems to work like a switch :thinking:. Press the doorbell sets the state to open and on the second press it’s closed.

Is it me or did I do something wrong?

Have it fixed. It was probably the distance between te doorsensor and the closest zwave mesh device.

Solved it by setting a longer ring-time. This will keep the relais open for a longer time and that makes it less sensitive for a not optimal connection.

@RoyWissenburg: heb jij ervaring met de url van Nest Hello streamen naar Homey en gebruik maken van Imagegrabber op basis van beweging door de Philips Hue outdoor sensor?

Thanks! and sorry for not asking in English :wink:

Is it possible to use an other door sensor brand/type?
Can’t find this one online anymore. Only fake ones at Ali xpres.

Dear OP,

Thanks for this guide! I feel this post is very under appreciated!

It’s was a quick and easy “hack” to apply!

I have the chime connected to a relay but the power remains on the relay after a press on the doorbell. Is that normal?

I’ve connected everything according to this schema:

And instead of the chime I’ve connected the wires to a esp8266

I turned thee switch to on that I’m using a chime.

833H-1A-F-C-24VDC this is the relais I’m using.

I did and the 24 v remains after the doorbell is pressed

I measured for 10 min.

That’s wat I think. But I’m trying to convince the support of Google for 3 days. They’re driving me crazy. Try this…try that…and if that doesn’t work they start it al over again.
