Only if you are slow at using the app. I can double tap notification, then tap
the talk button on my phone while I am walking to the door.
Also, with nest anyway, I don't know about Ring, but you can have spoken
templates, spoken that is by the Google Home lady, such as, Please wait a sec.
This speaks through your camera outside the door, so they hear it. You just
initiate that by tapping the template.

I don't have either ring or nest yet but have been told that its a lot quicker
to answer ring from your amazon echo as doing it via the app is slow and can
lead to the person having gone by the time you get into the app and answer the
dor. Cheers! Graham

Hi,
I must admit, I prefer Nest to Ring for various reasons.
Apart from anything else, last month's Which gave it the highest score, but
also, it has some really cool features.
We have just got two Nest doorbells. If you subscribe to nest Aware which is a
fiver a month, or 50 quid a year, you can teach it any faces that come to your
door by name. With their permission of course. So if I come to the door,
Angie would hear "Steve is at the door". I don't believe Ring can do this. It
will speak that message on all my Google Home and Amazon Alexa devices.
Also, Nest can inform you if parcels are left at the door, even if the postman
doesn't ring the bell. Ever had a delivery where they do that, just leave it
on the doorstep and you don't know it's there? With Nest, the camera will see
it and immediately pop up a message on your phone that a parcel has been left.
It will tell you that a parcel has also been picked up, once you do.
I believe this could be a security game changer for blind people especially.
I've only had them for about a week, but I'm loving all the things that Nest
can do.
All the best
Steve

Hello, Darren, it is all controlled via the smart phone, and associated
app. There is no hardware involved.

Hi List.
I was hoping a user of this device would be able to answer the following.
Do you have a handset in the house to answer the door, or is it all done
via a smart phone?
I've been talking to someone this morning who's interested, but because
of dexterity issues would rather have the option of answering via a
traditional handset rather than fiddling about with an app.
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light.
