People on the nest subreddit are ****** because 3rd party integrations like IFTTT will break in August as a result of the changes.
After setting up a motion zone (and turning off all other motion notifications) - I still get 2 random motion notifications through the night...
it will likely be from a car driving by the headlights causing what looks like motion to appear in the main zone. or a bird flying past or even a bat maybe? i've had birds flying past set mine off.
I've had a few birds trigger it before, which isn't too often - But the ones overnight appear to be; 1 when the night vision turns off, and the other looks like the camera dims very slightly and then back up again (almost like it was going to fall asleep or something ).
Last night, I had just one motion trigger at 4:57 - No animals or cars around, just as if the camera has had to readjust to the light for some reason...
if it's just 1 trigger then i wouldn't worry about it. probably an anomaly not worth worrying about.
Every night though is a bit annoying...
Is there no way to turn down the sensitivity on the motion notifications? I'm also getting notifications throughout the day (2 already this morning) with nothing happening, apart from a cloud or leaf moving
i get them too. you could make the main activity zone smaller. i believe it may catch areas just outside the zone.
You must have valuable curry house leaflets if tracking down the kid who stole it paid for the cost of the Nest Hello.Already paid for itself... Caught kid stealing post from letterbox and tracked them back to their house.
Evidently it was only a leaflet for a curry house!

Do you have a security system that shoots GPS darts at trespassers too?
I've got one of these for the current doorbell, would I need to swap this out for something beefier? https://www.f4p-products.com/products/12688-4-8-12v-fused-bell-transformerHad mine running a few weeks off the TLC transformer and all is well. Actual output is around 16v, with no load, although nest only needs 12.

Thanks, hopefully getting a new one won't be a problem. I'm more worried about the VA. I've read the Hello needs 0.8 amps and my transformer appears to be 0.6. I'd prefer not having to switch it out as it's in my hallway entrance and the uprated transformers appear to be DIN railed with large ugly enclosures.Its had a firmware update to work off 12v now.
So long as its recent stock with latest firmware on it you will be fine.
If you buy old stock you may have issues.

Cheers, I'm thinking I may need an electrician for all this in the end as I've got a fused switch next to the current doorbell transformer, which might be easier to convert to a normal socket and use one of those plug-in transformers.Decided to keep it in case I need it in future. Likely won't but if you want to buy one trust message me.
